Safety instructions for operation

  • WARNING : Read the warning instructions that follow before you use the product.
  • If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask an expert. Contact your dealer or your service workshop. Avoid all usage that you consider to be beyond your capability.
  • Make sure that you can move and stand safely. Check the area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take great care when you work on sloping ground.
  • Keep a good balance and a firm foothold at all times. Do not overreach.
  • Listen out for warning signals or shouts when you wear hearing protection. Always remove your hearing protection as soon as the product stops.
  • Do not operate the product near open windows.
  • Show consideration to persons in your surroundings by avoiding using the product at unsuitable times, such as late in the evening or early in the morning. Follow local regulations and ordinances.
  • Use the product with the lowest possible airflow. It is seldom necessary to use full airflow, and many work procedures can be done at half airflow. A lower airflow means less noise and less dust, and it is also easier to keep control over the rubbish collected together/moved.
  • In dusty conditions slightly dampen the surface when using the product.
  • Use a rake or a brush to release rubbish stuck to the ground.
  • Hold the opening of the blower as close to the ground as possible.
  • Observe your surroundings. Direct the product away from persons, animals, play areas, cars etc..
  • Minimize the blowing time by lightly wetting dusty areas or using spray equipment.
  • Be aware of the wind direction. Work with the wind to make your work easier.
  • Stop the product and remove the battery if the product starts to vibrate abnormally.
  • Using the blower to move large piles is time-consuming and creates unnecessary noise.
  • Clean up afterwards. Make sure that you have not blown rubbish into someone’s garden.
  • Do not run with the product.
  • The powerful currents of air can move objects at such a speed that they can bounce back and cause serious eye injuries.
  • Do not direct the airflow towards people or animals.
  • Stop the motor before you assemble or dismantle accessories or other parts.
  • Keep all parts of your body away from hot surfaces.
  • Never put the product down when it is activated unless you have it in clear sight.
  • Stop the machine, and remove the battery. Make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop:
  • whenever you leave the machine
  • before clearing blockages or unclogging chute
  • before checking, cleaning or working on the machine
  • Immediately shut off the power source and allow the machine to stop if the cutting mechanism hits any foreign objects or if the machine should start making any unusual noise or vibration. Disconnect the battery from the machine and take the following steps before restarting and operating the machine:
  • examine for damage
  • replace or repair any damaged parts
  • check for and tighten any loose parts
  • Shut off the power source and disconnect the machine from the battery before cleaning unwanted material if the machine becomes clogged.
  • Do not transport this machine while the power source is running.
  • Do not tilt the machine while the power source is running.
  • The blower must not be used while on a ladder or scaffolding.
  • Do not use the product unless you are able to call for help in case of an accident.
  • Watch out for thrown objects. Stones, rubbish, etc., can be thrown up into the eyes causing blindness or serious injury.
  • Use a residual-current device (RCI) for increased security when you charge the product. A residual-current device is fitted to protect operators in case an electrical fault should occur.
  • This product is renowned for its low vibration load. Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage in people who have impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists.
  • Only use the product for the purpose it was intended for.
  • It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation you can face. Always exercise care and use your common sense. Avoid all situations which you consider to be beyond your capability. If you still feel uncertain about operating procedures after reading these instructions, you should consult an expert before continuing.

Personal protective equipment

  • WARNING : Read the warning instructions that follow before you use the product.

  •  Always use approved personal protective equipment when you use the product. Personal protective equipment cannot fully prevent injury but it decreases the degree of injury if an accident does occur. Let your dealer help you select the right equipment.

  • Long-term exposure to noise can result in damaged hearing. In general, battery-powered products are relatively quiet but damage can result from a combination of noise level and long usage. recommends that operators use hearing protectors when using products for a longer coherent time of a day. Continual and regular users should have their hearing checked regularly.
    Note that hearing protectors limit the ability to hear sounds and warning signals.

  • Use approved eye protection. If you use a visor, you must also use approved protective goggles. Approved protective goggles must comply with the ANSI Z87.1 standard in the USAs or EN 166 in EU countries.

  • Use clothing made of a strong fabric. Always use heavy, long pants and long sleeves. Do not use loose clothing that can catch on twigs and branches. Do not wear jewelry, short pants, sandals or go with bare feet. Put your hair up safely above shoulder level.

Noise and vibration data are determined on the basis of the rated maximum speed.

  1. Noise emissions in the environment measured as sound power (LWA) in conformity with EC directive 2000/14/EC. Reported sound power level for the machine has been measured with the original cutting attachment that gives the highest level. The difference between guaranteed and measured sound power is that the guaranteed sound power also includes dispersion in the measurement result and the variations between different machines of the same model according to Directive 2000/14/EC.
  2. Reported data for equivalent sound pressure level for the machine has a typical statistical dispersion (standard deviation) of 3 dB (A).
  3. Reported data for vibration level has a typical statistical dispersion (standard deviation) of 1.5 m/s2.
