NOTE: Always pull starter rope straight out.
Pulling starter at an angle will cause rope to rub
against the eyelet. This friction will cause the rope
to fray and wear more quickly. Always hold starter
handle when rope retracts. Never allow rope to
snap back from extended position. This could
cause rope to snag or fray and also damage the
starter assembly.
6.2 STARTING A WARM ENGINE (Engine has
been stopped for no more than 15-20 mi-
nutes)
1. Pull starter rope again. Engine should start
with ONE or TWO pulls. If engine fails to start
after 6 pulls, repeat steps 2 through 6 (see
Starting a cold engine).
2. If engine does not start, or starts and then
stops after 5 rope pulls, follow procedure "ST-
ARTING A COLD ENGINE".
6.3 STOPPING THE ENGINE
Emergency Stopping Procedure.
When it is necessary to stop blower engine im-
mediately, DEPRESS the switch (Fig. 1/Item 4)
to OFF.
Normal Stopping Method.
To stop the motor, push back the throttle lever
lock, so that the motor runs in idling mode. Finally
move the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 1/Item 4) to "OFF".
6.4 BLOWER OPERATIONS
Your blower is designed to easily remove debris
from patios, walkways, lawns, bushes, etc., and
many hard to reach areas where debris may ac-
cumulate.
WarnIng: Because of fl ying debris, always wear
American National Standards Institute (A.N.S.I.)
approved shielded safety glasses or face shield
when operating blower.
Before using your blower, review Safety Precau-
tions in your User Manual, and all regulations for
operation of the unit. These precautions and regu-
lations are for your protection.
Caution: Hold the blower so that hot exhaust
does not damage clothing and is not inhaled by
operator.
DO NOT operate the blower with other people or
animals in the immediate vicinity. Allow a mini-
mum of 30 feet (9 meters) between operator and
other people or animals.
We recommend that a face mask be worn when
operating blower in dusty areas.
Stand away from the debris, at a distance that will

easily allow you to control the direction of blown
debris. Never blow debris in direction of bystan-
ders.
To control velocity of airstream, blower can be
operated at any speed between idle and full
throttle. Experience with the unit will help you de-
termine the amount of airfl ow necessary for each
application.
To use the appliance:
Follow the motor starting instructions as descri-
bed in the operating instructions.
Let the motor run in idle mode and attach the ap-
pliance as shown in Fig. 5. Make sure that nothing
is covering the exhaust pipe as this would cause
heat to build up.
Hold the handle securely with the right hand (Fig.
6) and swing the blow pipe back and forth so that
the desired surface is freed from dirt.
The throttle lever (Fig 4a/Item 2) and the ON/OFF
switch (Fig. 4a/Item 4) are integrated in the hand-
le (Fig.4a/Item 1).
The throttle lever lock (Fig. 4a/Item 3) can stop
the motor at full throttle without the necessity of
constantly pressing the throttle lever. Important:
Before switching the appliance off , push the
throttle lever lock to idling mixture supply.
7. Cleaning, maintenance, storage,
transport and ordering of spare
parts
Always switch off the equipment and pull out the
spark boot plug before carrying out any mainte-
nance work.
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
