During Operation

Holding and controlling the power

tool

The blower is designed for single-

handed operation with either the right or

left hand on the control handle.

Special care must be taken in slippery

conditions (wet ground, snow) and in

difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for

hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,

roots and ditches to avoid stumbling. For

better footing, clear away fallen

branches, scrub and cuttings. Be

extremely cautious when working on

slopes or uneven ground.

Working conditions

Operate and start your power tool only

outdoors in a well ventilated area.

Operate it under good visibility and

daylight conditions only. Work carefully.

Warning!

Your power tool is a one-person

machine. Do not allow other persons in

the general work area, even when

starting.

For specific starting instructions, see the

appropriate section of your manual.

Place the power tool on firm ground or

other solid surface in an open area.

Maintain good balance and secure

footing.

Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury from loss of

control, do not attempt to "drop start"

your power tool.

Warning!

When you pull the starter grip, do not

wrap the starter rope around your hand.

Do not let the grip snap back, but guide

the starter rope to rewind it properly.

Failure to follow this procedure may

result in injury to your hand or fingers

and may damage the starter

mechanism.

Warning!

Once the engine has started, immedi-

ately blip the throttle trigger, which

should release the starting throttle and

allow the engine to slow down to idle.

Warning!

This unit is equipped with an ignition

system that is normally in operational

readiness. After the setting lever is used

to stop the engine, it automatically

springs back to the "on" position. If the

engine is warm, it may be possible to

start it by simply pulling the starter rope,

with no further adjustments. To reduce

the risk of injury, be particularly alert to

keep children away from the unit.

Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury from loss of

control, never work on a ladder, in a tree

or any other insecure support. Never

hold the machine above shoulder

height.

Warning!

As soon as the engine is

running, this product gen-

erates toxic exhaust

fumes containing chemi-

cals, such as unburned

hydrocarbons (including

benzene) and carbon monoxide, that

are known to cause respiratory prob-

lems, cancer, birth defects, or other

reproductive harm. Some of the gases

(e.g. carbon monoxide) may be color-

less and odorless. To reduce the risk of

serious or fatal injury/illness from inhal-

ing toxic fumes, never run the machine

indoors or in poorly ventilated locations:
