designed for protecting personnel and
materials. These components should
receive special attention whenever you
operate, inspect and service the blower .
Stop switch
S The stop switch (A) is used to stop the

operator . Muf flers fitted with catalytic
converters are also designed to reduce
harmful exhaust components.

can contain sparks, which may cause
fire if they come in contact with dry or
flammable material.
S Some blower models, especially those
sold in countries where the climate is
dry, are equipped with a spark arresting
screen (B). This screen must be cleaned
or replaced at specific intervals. See the
