Safety Precautions
WORKING CONDITIONS
1. Refrain from operating the blower if you are tired, ill,
or upset, or if you are under the influence of alcohol,
drugs or medication
2. To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with
sound levels, hearing protection is re quir ed .
3. To reduce the risk of injury
associated with thrown objects,
always wear eye protection and
foot protection. Approved
protective goggles must comply
with standard ANSI Z87.1 in the
USA or EN 166 in EU countries .
4. To reduce the risk of injury
associated with the inhalation of
dust, use a face filter mask in dusty
conditions.
5. Wear rubber-soled shoes or shoes
with some other form of anti-slip
protection to help protect you
against falling.
6. To reduce the risk of injury
associated with objects being
drawn into rotating parts, do not
wear loose clothing, scarves, neck
chains, hair longer than shoulder
length, or other loose material.
7. Prolonged use of a blower, exposing the operator to
vibrations and cold, may produce whitefinger
disease (Raynaud’s phenomenon), the symptoms of
which include tingling and burning sensations
followed by loss of color and numbness in the
fingers. All factors which cont rib ute to w hitef ing er
disease are not known, but cold weather, smoking
diseases or physical conditions as well as long
periods of exposure to vibration are mentioned as
factors. In order to reduce the risk of whitefinger
disease, the following precautions are strongly
recommended
a) Keep your body warm. Never use the blower
during rain.
b) Wear thick anti-vibration
gloves.
c) Take more than 5 minutes of
break in a warm place frequently.
d) Maintain a firm grip at all
times, but do not squeeze the
handles with constant, excessive pressure.
e) If you feel discomfort, redness and swelling of
your fingers or any other part of your body , see
a doctor before it gets worse.
8. The ignition system of your unit produces an
electromagnetic field of a very low intensity. This field
may interfere with some pacemakers. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal injury, people with pacemaker
should consult their physician and the pacemaker
manufacturer before operating this tool.
WORKING CIRCUMSTANCE
1. To reduce the risk of injury
associated with exhaust fume
inhalation, do not operate in
unventilated area. The exhaust
gases contain harmful carbon
monoxide.
2. Avoid using the blower where
stable footing and balance are
not assured.
3. Never operate the machine in high wind, bad
weather, potentially explosive atmosphere, when
visibility is poor or in very high or low temperatures.
(Our recommended use environment is below 40
degrees C (104 degrees F).)
AVOID NOISE PROBLEM
NOTE
Check and follow the local regulations as to
sound levels and hours of operations for blower.
1. Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours,
not early in the morning or late at night when people
might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local
ordinances.
2. To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
3. Operate power blowers at the lowest possible
throttle speed to do the job.
4. Check your equi pment befor e oper ation , espe ciall y
the muffler, air intakes and air filters.
WORKING PLAN
• To reduce the risk of health damages, avoid
excessive use and take sufficient time to rest .
FUEL
W ARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury:
a) Handle fuel with care. It is highly
flammable.
b) Do not smoke while handing fuel.

USING THE PRODUCT
W ARNING
While using the product, if abnormal noise or
vibration occurs, stop the engine immediately and
contact the nearest Husqvarna servicing dealer
for assistance. Checking the fan is very import ant.
If the rotating fan should break up, it will lead to
serious accidents.
1. Check the work area that the blower will be used in
and remove or cover all valuables that may be
damaged by the air blast or thrown debris.
2. To reduce the risk of injury associated with thrown
objects.
a) Watch out for children, pets, open windows or
freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely
away.
b) Use the full blower tube extension so the air
stream can work close to the ground.
c) Do not allow bystanders in work area.
d)Do not point the
blower tube in
the direction of
people or pets
e) Always check to
be sure that no
debris has been blown onto someone else’s
property.
f) Pay attention to the direction of the wind, do not
work against the wind.
3. To minimize blowing time.
a) Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before
blowing.
b) In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or
use a mister attachment when water is available.
c) Conserve water by using power blowers instead
of hoses for many lawn and garden applications,
including areas such as gutters, screens, patios,
grills, porches and gardens.
4. The blower must not be used
while on a ladder or scaffolding.
5. Never put the machine down with
the engine running unless you
have it in clear sight.
6. Never touch the spark plug or plug
cord while the engine is in
operation. Doing so may result in
being subjected to an electrical
shock.
7. Never touch the muffler, spark
plug, or other metallic parts of the
engine, or area around the engine
cover while the engine is in
operation or immediately after
shutting down the engine. These
metallic parts reach high
temperatures during operation
and doing so could result in
serious burns.
W ARNING
The temperature of the machine
may increase after stopping the
engine. Especially never forget to
cool down the engine before refueling the machine.
8. If the engine catches fire or in any other emergency
situation that requires you to free yourself from the
machine, open the buckle in the waist belt and drop
the machine backward.
9. After using blowers and other equipmen t, CL EAN
UP! Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
