SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Basic safety rules
• No unauthorised persons or animals may be present in
the working area, which is 15 metres.
• 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 air jet towards people or animals.
• Stop the engine before assembling or dismantling
accessories or other parts.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in
bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous
conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Make sure 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 working on sloping ground.
• Never put the machine down with the engine running
unless you have it in clear sight.
• Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which
can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. For this reason
you should not start or run the machine indoors, or
anywhere that is poorly ventilated.
• The blower must not be used while on a ladder or
scaffolding.
• CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are able to
call for help in the event of an accident.
Basic working techniques
• The speed of the air jet is regulated by means of the
throttle. Select the speed best suited for respective tasks.
(356 BT
X-SERIES
) You can set the throttle position using
the ”stop switch” and by doing so not need to hold your
finger on the throttle all the time you are using the blower.
Full throttle is obtained when the control is held back fully.
• Check that the air intake is not blocked, for example, by
leaves or rubbish. A clogged air intake reduces the
machine’s blowing capacity and increases the engine’s
working temperature, which can result in engine failure.
Stop the engine and remove the object.
• Be aware of the wind direction. Work with the wind to
make your work easier.
• Using the blower to move large piles is time consuming
and creates unnecessary noise.
• When work is finished the machine should be stored
vertically.

WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects.
Always wear eye protection. Stones,
rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the eyes
causing blindness or serious injury. Keep
unauthorised persons at a distance.
Children, animals, onlookers and helpers
should be kept outside the safety zone of 15
m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone
approaches.

WARNING! Always stop the engine before
cleaning.
