Unpacking; Assembly; Installing And Removing The Rechargeable Battery; Installing The Blow Tube - Mantis BBLOW40-25 Manuel D'utilisation

- In dusty conditions, lightly moisten the surface or,
when available, use a watering attachment part.
- Use the entire blowing nozzle attachment so the air jet
can work close to the ground.
- Watch out for children, pet animals and open windows;
blow foreign objects away safely.
Preparation:
1. Before starting work, always ensure your device is in
flawless condition. Do not work with your leaf blower if
any part of the device is defective or worn out.
2. Keep other persons, particularly children or pet ani-
mals, away from the running device. Keep such per-
sons at least 6 m away from your work area.
3. Clear away sharp-edged, pointed or smouldering ma-
terials before starting work.
4. Prevent unintended start-up: Make sure that the
switch is set to the off position before connecting to
the power supply.

Operation:

1. Never operate the machine barefoot or whilst wearing
open sandals. Always wear sturdy footwear or boots
to protect your feet – freshly cut grass is moist and
slippery. Rubber or hand-made shoes increase safety.
Wear long trousers to protect your legs. Always wear
safety goggles or corresponding safety eyewear when
working with the leaf blower. Wear hearing protec-
tion as soon as the noise level of the work becomes
uncomfortable.
2. Put up long hair so it does not reach below your shoul-
ders. Keep loosely fitting clothing, ties, tassels and
dangling belts away from openings and moving parts.
3. Never point the tube towards persons or windows.
4. Only use the machine for its intended purpose as
described here.
5. Switch off the device before mounting or dismounting
the blow tube. Wait until the motor has stopped.
6. Always make sure to keep a stable stance and do not
lose your balance – especially when you are working
on slopes.
Maintenance and repair:
1. Switch off the device after use and before each time
it is cleaned.
2. Do not attempt to repair the device. Only have repairs
done by a specialist or customer service.
3. Only use original spare parts and accessories. Use of
accessory parts not expressly recommended by the
manufacturer can cause injury or damage.
4. Always store the leaf blower in a dry location beyond
the reach of children. Never expose the device to any
solvents.

3. Unpacking

Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your power tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If
you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
