spark plug bore.
· Dry the surfaces around the spark plug bore.
· Refit the spark plug and repeat the operations
with the throttle lever (1, Fig.13) in the max
speed position and the choke lever (B) in its
horizontal position as shown in Fig.11.
CAUTION:
- Never wrap the starter cord around your
hand.
- When pulling the starter rope, do not use
the full extent of the rope as this can cause
the rope to break.
- Do not let starter rope snap back. Hold the
starter handle (4, Fig.1) and let the rope
rewind slowly.
BREAKING-IN THE ENGINE
The engine reaches the maximum power after
5÷8 hours of activity.
During this period of breaking-in do not use the
engine at wide open throttle without load, to
avoid excessive functioning stress.
WARNING! - During the breaking-in
period do not vary the carburetion to obtain a
presumed power increment; the engine can be
damaged.
NOTE: It is normal for smoke to be emitted
from a new engine during and after first use.

6. STOPPING THE ENGINE

Set the throttle lever to idle position (1, Fig. 13)
and wait a few seconds to let the engine cool off.
Turn off the engine, pushing the ON/OFF switch
(2, Fig. 13).

7. USING THE MACHINE

PROHIBITED USE
- Work only in conditions offering sufficient
visibility and light to see clearly.
- Stop the engine before setting the machine
down.
- Be particularly cautious and alert when
wearing ear protectors, as these can restrict
your ability to hear sounds indicating danger
(shouts, signals, warnings, etc.)
- Be extremely careful when working on slopes
or uneven surfaces.
- Always keep the handles dry and clean.
- Do not operate the blower while standing
on a ladder or a stand.
- Never attempt to blow hot or burning
substances or combustible fluids.
- Do not walk backward while operating the
machine.
- Operate the blower only at reasonable hours,
i.e. not early in the morning or late at night
when people might be disturbed. Comply with
times listed in local ordinances.

the nozzle or blow debris toward people, pets,
cars or houses.

- Practice moving grass clippings or a paper cup
without moving dust.
- Wet dusty areas down first before using a
blower.
- Never use a leaf blower to move excessively
dusty materials.
- Never direct the air jet towards people or
animals. The blower can propel small objects at
very high speed. Stop the engine immediately
if you are approached.
