SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8 – English
Starting
• Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can
be dangerous if inhaled.
• Observe the surroundings and ensure that no people
or animals can come into contact with the blower.
• Place the machine on the ground, press the machine
body against the ground with your left hand (NOTE!
Not your foot). Now grasp the starter handle with your
right hand and then pull quickly and firmly.
Fuel safety
• Always use a fuel container with an anti-spill valve.
• Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes
before refuelling.
• Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling
or mixing fuel (petrol and 2-stroke oil).
• Avoid all skin contact with fuel. Fuel is a skin irritant
and may even cause skin changes.
• Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling
point before starting it.
• Never start the machine:
- If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and
allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
- If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes, change
your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come
in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
- If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
• Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there
is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact
with sparks or naked flames, for example, from
electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/
switches or boilers.
• When storing and transporting fuel always use
approved containers intended for this purpose.
• When storing the machine for long periods the fuel
tank must be emptied. Contact your local petrol
station to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.
• Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
• Secure the machine during transport.
Adjusting the harness
A correctly adjusted harness and machine significantly
facilitates the work. Adjust the harness to give the best
working position.
Tighten the side straps so that the pressure is evenly
distributed across the shoulders.
!
WARNING! Take care when handling fuel.
Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion
and inhaling fumes.
!
WARNING! The harness must always be
worn when working with the machine.
Failure to do so means you will be unable
to manoeuvre safely and this can result
in injury to yourself or others.
