6 If there are problems, immediately turn the motor
switch (9) to "0" so the motor stops.
7 If the motor is warm, you can leave the choke
lever (4) in the "warm start and work" position.
Note: If the engine does not start up even after sev-
eral attempts, read the section „Engine troubleshoot-
ing".
Note: Always pull the starter cord out in a straight
line. If it is pulled out at an angle, then friction will
occur on the eyelet. As a result of this friction, the
cable will become frayed and will wear away faster.
Always hold the starter handle when the cable re-
tracts.
Never allow the cable to snap back when it has been
pulled out.
Tuning idle speed (fig. 5)
Idling must be adjusted when the engine tends to
turn off or no significant speed differences are noted
when using the throttle.
Adjustment is performed after starting the engine
and letting it run idle for several minutes, using the
screw (A):
• turn clockwise to increase engine rpm;
• turn counter-clockwise to decrease engine rpm.
After adjusting, the engine should idle without irregu-
larities or pauses.
Stopping the engine
Emergency Stopping Procedure:
When it is necessary to stop blower engine immedi-
ately, DEPRESS the switch to OFF.
Normal procedure:
To stop the motor, push back the throttle lever lock,
so that the motor runs in idling mode. Finally move
the ON/OFF switch to "OFF".

• Always keep the ventilation opening clean.
• Never direct the blow hole at persons or animals.
• The machine may only be used at reasonable times
of the day, i.e. not in the early morning or late even-
ing when it will be a nuisance to other people. Per-
mitted times of use specified by local authorities
must be observed.
• The machine must be run at the lowest possible
motor speed required to carry out the work.
• Remove all foreign objects with a rake and brush
before starting any blowing work.
• Where conditions are dusty, dampen the surface
a little or use a sprinkler attachment.
• Use the full-length blower nozzle extension so that
the air current can work near to the ground.
• Watch out for children, pets, open windows etc. and
blow the foreign objects safely away from them.
• If the device makes abnormal noises or has unu-
sually high levels of vibration, it must be checked.
Unusually high levels of vibration can injure the
operator and damage the unit.
• Never operate the appliance with defective guards
or shields, or without safetydevices, for example
debris collector in place
• The Blower can be used to blow debris from pa-
tios, paths, driveways, lawns, bushes and borders.
• Do not expose the hot engine to flammable materi-
als
• Always check the work area before starting work.
Remove any objects or scraps that may be spun,
or catch the sim in the unit and clog it.
• Alternatively hold nozzle just above the ground
and swing the machine from side to side, moving
forwards and direct the nozzle at the debris to be
cleared.
• Blow the debris into a convenient heap
9. Maintenance
INJURY WARNING!
Always wear protective gloves when working on or
around cutting tools.
Cleaning
• Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to
prevent overheating of the engine.
• Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft
cloth, preferably after each use.
• Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
• If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth mois-
tened with soapy water.
• Regularly check the device before starting work.
• Never use water to clean or spray the device. Clean
the motor casing with a damp cloth and never use
detergents or solvents! This may damage the de-
vice's plastic parts. Dry the motor casing carefully
afterwards.
• Only use OEM parts for maintenance work.
