• Danger of burns! Some parts of the appliance get too hot when the appliance is operated. Do not touch any hot parts, e.g. engine and muffler.

Read carefully the operating and maintenance instructions. Familiarise thoroughly with the controls and proper use of the appliance. You need to know how the appliance works and how controls can immediately be switched off . Never let children work with the appliance. Never let adults work with the appliance unless they have been properly trained. Keep all persons, especially small children, and petsout of reach of the place of your work. Being careful prevents slipping or falling, especially when reversing. Check the ground on which the appliance is going to be used and remove any items that might be caught or thrown off by the appliance.

Fuel is highly flammable.
Keep the fuel in suitable containers only. The appliance may only be refuelled outdoors and not near open fi re or burning cigarettes. Refuel before starting the appliance. If the engine is running or still hot, it must not be refuelled or the tank cover opened. Make sure the fuel does not overfl ow. If the fuel overfl ows, the engine must not be started. Remove any dirt from the appliance and prevent any attempt at ignition until fuel fumes have evaporated. Do not adjust the appliance when the engine is running (except for settings directly recommended by the manufacturer). Snow should be removed only after adjusting the snow blower to the outdoor temperature when there are extreme temperature diff erences. Immediate snow removing could lead to premature wear of the drive shaft and other extensions such as the rubber fl ap. There is a risk of items being thrown off at eyes when working with power appliances. Protective glasses or a shield should always be used when operating, adjusting or repairing the appliance. Do not put your hands and legs near the rotating parts. Keep a safe distance from the eject hole. Be extremely careful when running over or removing snow off brash entrances, footpaths and paths. Be prepared for unexpected risks or moving vehicles. When you hit a foreign item, switch the engine off , disconnect the cable from the spark plug and check thoroughly the snow blower for any damage and remove it if necessary – the snow blower can be put into operation again and worked with now. If the appliance starts abnormally vibrating, switch the engine off and search for the cause immediately. Generally, vibrations are a warning against operating failure. Switch the engine off every time you stop operating the appliance, clean the working screw/rotor can/ eject tube and when executing repairs, adjusting and inspecting the appliance. When cleaning, repairing and checking the appliance, make sure that the working screw/rotor and all moving parts are stopped. Never use the appliance inside rooms; to be used outdoors only. Do not remove snow across slopes. Be extremely careful when changing movement direction on slopes. Never try to remove snow on steep slopes. Never use the snow blower when guards, sheets and other protection components are not installed properly. Never use the snow blower near glass surfaces, cars, windows, pits, etc.; set the eject tube angle properly. Children and pets must be in a suffi cient distance from the appliance. Do not overload the appliance; do not try to remove snow too quickly. Never use the appliance at a high travelling speed on a slippery surface. Be careful when reversing. Never aim the eject tube at bystanders. Do not allow anyone to stand before the appliance. Disconnect the working screw/rotor drive when the snow blower is to be transported or when not being used. Use only extensions and accessories approved by the snow blower manufacturer (e.g. wheel weights, counterweight, cabins, etc.). The snow blower must only be used when appropriate visibility or good lighting is provided. Stand fast on the ground and hold the handle tight by hands at all times. Walk, never run. Do not allow anybody to stand on the appliance. Switch the engine off and unplug it if you are not working with the appliance or when leaving the appliance or adjusting, maintaining or repairing it. The appliance should only be used when in a perfect state. Carry out a visual inspection before switching the appliance on. Check especially the safety equipment, electrical control elements, power lines and screw couplings for any damage and if they are tightened appropriately. Replace any damaged parts before the appliance is put into operation if necessary. Put the appliance out of operation and store it in a closed room only after the engine has cooled down. The engine must necessarily be fi lled with engine oil before being put into operation for the fi rst time. Check the oil level whenever the appliance is to be put into operation. Add engine oil if necessary. Never store the appliance with petrol in the tank inside a building where petrol fumes may potentially get in touch with open fi re or sparks. When the appliance is not going to be used for a long time, store it with an empty tank. Do not change the controlled engine setting and do not rev the engine up.
