as work clothing with long legs and sleeves as well as protective gloves. Wear eye protection
and a face mask. Moreover, use hearing protection. Wear solid footwear with full uppers and

after the machine has hit an object to check for damage; if the machine starts to vibrate ab-

or during operation, this means that the machine is not operating correctly. In this case, turn
the machine off immediately, disconnect the batteries and check it. Check the nozzle for any
obstructions in the air inlet and outlet. Once the obstruction has been removed, reassemble
