SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• The machine is not intended to be used by persons (children or adults) with any form of functional disorder or by persons who do not have sufficient experience or know-how on how to use it, without the supervision of someone who is responsible for their safety.

• Keep children under supervision to make sure they do not play with the machine.

• Never allow children to use the machine.

• Never allow persons who are not familiar with the machine, or who have not read these instructions, to use it. There may be local regulations for the minimum age of persons allowed to use the machine.

• Do not use the machine when other persons, especially children, or pets are in the vicinity.

• Do not use the machine near open windows, or doors, etc.

• Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense when working with the machine Never use the machine if you are tired or under the
  influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention can result in serious personal injury.

• Wear safety glasses and suitable personal safety equipment. Depending on the type of machine and how it is used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets and ear protection reduce the risk of personal injury.

• Wear long trousers. Wear a hair net if you have long hair. Do not wear loose-fitting clothes, jewellery, or watches etc. that can fasten in moving parts. Wear suitable clothing.

• Persons with breathing difficulties and persons using the leaf blower in very dusty conditions should always wear a particle filter mask.

• The machine makes a lot of noise. Risk of hearing impairment if ear protection is not used.

• Pay attention to the surroundings and avoid causing any interference. The machine must only be used at a reasonable time of day, i.e. not early morning or late at night when it can disturb other people. Follow the applicable local regulations regarding permissible working hours. The machine should be used with the lowest possible engine speed necessary to do the work.

• Avoid accidental starting. There is a severe risk of injury if you carry the machine with your finger on the throttle.

• Carefully inspect the area where the machine is to be used and remove any stones, wires, bones or other foreign objects.

• Avoid unbalanced and awkward positions when working. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This will ensure you have better control in unexpected situations.

• If the area to be cleared is dusty, dampen the surface a little or use a sprinkler.

• Do not use the machine in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gas or dust. The machine produce sparks, which can ignite dust and fumes.

• Use the full length of the blowpipe so that the air flow acts close to the ground.

• Use a rake or broom to scrape up debris before blowing.

• Do not use the machine for long periods of time. Take regular breaks.

• Never use the machine if the guards or covers are dismantled or damaged, or without the safety devices in place.

• Never immerse the machine in water or any other liquid.

• Keep the handles on the machine clean, dry and free from oil, petrol and dirt.

WARNING!

• Only use parts and accessories recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other parts can result in personal injury and/or material damage. It will also invalidate the warranty.
• Never use the machine if the guards or covers are dismantled or damaged, or without the safety devices in place.
• Keep your hands and feet away from the openings when the machine is in use.
• Never use the machine if the guards or covers are dismantled or damaged. Never use the machine without the safety devices in place.
• Switch off the machine and wait until all moving parts have completely stopped before cleaning and/or maintenance.
• Never start the engine indoors or in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes from the engine contain carbon monoxide, an odourless and highly dangerous gas – risk of serious personal injury and/or death.

TECHNICAL DATA

In suction mode: 5.8 kg

Always wear ear protection!
The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured according to a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The measurement values have been determinedin accordance with EN 15503:2009.
WARNING!
The actual vibration level when using power tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start-up time).

IMPORTANT:

• Never use oil intended for 4-stroke engines, or for water-cooled 2-stroke engines.
• Do not use pure petrol with the additive of 2-stroke oil; this will damage the engine and invalidate the warranty.
• Use good grade petrol and oil for best functionality and life span.
• Petrol is a perishable product. Do not buy more petrol than you can use in 30 days.

MIXING AND HANDLING FUEL
WARNING!

• Petrol is highly flammable and can in some circumstances be explosive.
• Transport and store fuel only in approved containers, at a safe distance from naked flames, sparks and other sources of heat.
• Store fuel out of the reach of children.
• Do not smoke when refuelling. Avoid inhaling fumes from fuel.

Fuel mix

1. Pour about half of the petrol in the mixing container.
2. Add 2-stroke oil as per the table.
3. Add the rest of the petrol.
4. Put the lid on and carefully shake.

IMPORTANT:

• Fuel mixed with oil that has stood for more than one month can contaminate the carburettor and prevent the engine from working properly.
• Store mixed fuel and pure petrol separately in labelled containers to avoid the risk of mistakes.
• Clean containers for petrol and mixed fuel at regular intervals to remove any deposits.

Refuelling
WARNING!

• Do not smoke when refuelling. Avoid inhaling fumes from fuel.
