6 If there are problems, immediately turn the motor
switch (1) to "0" so the motor stops.
7 If the motor is warm, you can leave the choke
lever(11) 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.
Operating modes
Use as a blower
Warning: The machine must always be firmly
gripped with your right hand on the upper hand
grip during work.
The engine speed should be adjusted to the type of
material to be removed:
• use the engine at low speed for lightweight mate-
rial on the lawn;
• use the engine at average speed to move grass and
lightweight leaves on pavement or solid ground;
• use the engine at high speed for heavier materials
like fresh snow or voluminous dirt.
Warning: Always pay the utmost attention to
prevent removed material or dust from injuring
people or animals or damaging property. Always
assess the wind direction and never work against
the wind.
Use as a vacuum collector
Warning: The machine must always be firmly held
with both hands during work. Place your left hand
on the upper hand grip and your right hand on the
lower hand grip so that the bag is on the right-
hand side of the operator.
When used as a vacuum collector, it is best to use
the engine at average/high speed. During collection,
keep the rounded end of the tube a few centimetres
off the ground. The bag also works as a filter similar
to a common home vacuum.
For this reason it is best that:
• it is always free to expand and the support strap
is not tangled.
• it is not fully filled.
• collected objects that could jeopardise integrity are
promptly removed.

To empty the bag:
• switch the engine off.
• open the zipper (11) and empty the bag without
disconnecting it from the fitting tube.
• IMPORTANT When used as a vacuum collector do
not collect damp grass or leaves to avoid clogging
the rotor and bag.
IMPORTANT When using the machine as a vacu-
um collector, there is a risk of inadvertently suc-
tioning objects which can obstruct the machine
and block the rotor. In this case:
• switch the motor off immediately - remove the spark
plug cap.
• disassemble the vacuum tube.
• remove the foreign body from inside the vacuum
inlet.
• Check that nothing is blocking the rotor before us-
ing the machine again.
IMPORTANT A too full bag reduces the machine's
efficiency and could cause the engine to over
heat.
End of operations
When you have finished your work:
• Switch off the engine as indicated above
• Empty the bag if used as a vacuum collector.
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 (D):
• 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 imme-
diately, 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".
