parts.
Use the appliance only when appropriate lighting is
provided. The appliance and handles should always be
held tightly. Never run with the appliance.
Use the appliance only for removing light and loose snow
(fresh snow) up to the maximum snow height of app. 10
cm.
Icy snow and ice must not be removed by the snow
blower.
Put the appliance out of operation and store it in a closed
room only after the engine has cooled down.
Use the appliance only when it is in a perfect state
specified by the manufacturer.
Use only original spare parts of the manufacturer or spare
parts of other manufacturers approved by the

when in a perfect and safe state.
Check the ground on which the appliance is going to be
used and remove any items that might be caught or thrown
off by the appliance.
Possible damage to the appliance: When the appliance
hits a foreign item (e.g. stones) or when there are

and checked for any damage. Have any detected damage
removed and resume working with the appliance only after
the damage has been removed.

couplings for any damage and if they are tightened
appropriately. Replace any damaged parts before the
