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 required.
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 contribute to
whitefinger 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) Take more than 5 minutes of break in a warm place fre-
quently.
c) Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do not squeeze the
handles with constant, excessive pressure.
d) If you feel discomfort, redness and swelling of your fingers
or any other part of your body, see a doctor before it gets
worse.
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 equipment before operation, especially 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
WARNING
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.
c) Do not refuel a hot engine.
d) Do not refuel a running engine.
e) Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Always wipe
unit dry before using.
f ) Move at least 10 ft. (3 meters) away
from the fueling point before starting the engine.
g) Always store gasoline in a container approved for flammable
liquids.
h) Make sure the unit is properly assembled and in good
operating condition.
i ) Do not use the blower near a fire, as
aiming the blower in the direction of a
flame may cause flammable
substances to ignite.
8. This machine produces an electromagnetic field during
operation. This field may under some circumstances interfere
with active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical
implants to consult their physician and the medical implant
manufacturer before operating this machine.
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).)
6
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
Each time before starting the engine, inspect the entire unit to
see if every part is in good order and is securely tightened in
place. If any damage is found in the fuel line, the exhaust line, or
the ignition wiring, do not use the blower until it has been
repaired.
IMPORTANT
Before starting operation, always make sure to check if any
obstacles are left inside the volute case and net. The
obstacles may cause serious injury or damage to fan and
volute case.

4. 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.
5. 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.
6. The blower must not be used while on
a ladder or scaffolding.
USING THE PRODUCT
WARNING
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 important. If the rotating fan should break up,
it might lead to serious accidents.
1. This blower is a backpack type, and is shouldered while
operating. It is operated and controlled with the handle on
the tube by right hand.
2. 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.
3. Make sure you can move and stand
safely. Check the area around you for
possible obstacles (roots, rocks,
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you
have to move suddenly. Take great
care when working on sloping ground.
7. Never put the machine down with the
engine running unless you have it in
clear sight.
8. 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.
9. 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.
WARNING
The temperature of the machine may increase after stopping the engine. Especially never forget to cool down the
engine before refueling the machine.
10. 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
11. After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris in trash receptacles.
