Maintenance and storage  
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the  
equipment is in safe working condition. Regular  
maintenance is essential for safety and performance.  
Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside  
a building where vapour may reach a flame or a  
spark or a source of extreme heat.  
Allow the engine to cool before storing in an  
enclosed space.  
To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, exhaust  
silencer, battery compartment (if applicable) and fuel

Safety rules for petrol blowers  
Training  
Read the instructions carefully. Get familiar with the  
controls and proper use of the equipment.  
Only use the blower for the purpose for which it was  
designed, i.e. blowing garden debris. Any other use  
can be hazardous, causing damage to the machine.  
Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these  
instructions to use the blower. Local regulations may  
restrict the age of the operator.  
Never use the blower:  
– When people, especially children, or pets are nearby.  
– If the operator has taken medicine or substances that  
can affect his ability to react and concentrate.  
Remember that the operator or user is responsible  
for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or  
their property.  
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done  
outdoors and when the engine is cool.  
For reasons of safety, do not use the equipment with  
worn or damaged parts. Parts are to be replaced and  
not repaired. Parts that are not of the same quality can  
damage the equipment and be dangerous for your safety.  
Fuel goes off fairly quickly. If you find your blower  
does not start, 1st change the fuel in the tank with newly  
purchased fuel.  
Preparation  
While blowing, always wear sturdy footwear and long  
trousers. Do not operate the equipment with bare feet  
or open sandals.  
WARNING: DANGER! Engine fuel is highly flammable:  
– Store fuel in containers specifically designed for  
this purpose.  
– Refuel using a funnel and outdoors only. Do not smoke  
while re-fuelling or whenever handling the fuel.  
Service  
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair  
personnel using only identical replacement parts. This  
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.  
– Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove  
the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is  
running or when the engine is hot.  
Operation safety instructions  
WARNING. Stop the engine and unplug the spark plug  
before any repairs or maintenance operations.  
– If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but  
move the machine away from the area of spillage and  
avoid creating any source of ignition until the fuel has  
evaporated and the vapour dispersed.  
– Replace all fuel tanks and containers caps securely.  
Substitute faulty silencers.  
Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are well  
tightened before every use.  
Do not run the engine in an enclosed and/or poorly  
ventilated area. The gas of the engine contains carbon  
monoxide, which is dangerous to your health.  
Work only when there is sufficient light.  
Do not use the blower when it is raining or when the  
grass is wet.  
Before use, always inspect the machine and check  
that the screws are not worn or damaged.

Caution must be taken while blowing on slopes.  
Turn off the engine if you must leave the blower  
unattended.  
Take care not to spill fuel. When refuelling the blower  
ensure that the motor has been switched off. Prevent the  
spilling of fuel as this may also ignite with the hot motor.  
Never refuel whilst the engine running.  
Never change the rated speed of the engine in any way.  
Be careful where you store the blower. Store the blower  
in a dry area away from flammable liquids.  
Stop the engine and remove the spark plug cover in  
these cases:  
- Before any maintenance, repairing or checking operations.  
- If you leave the blower unattended.  
- If the blower vibrates in an abnormal way, take the  
blower to an authorized service centre.  
- Check the bolts and nuts regularly. Bolts and nuts may  
vibrate loose over time.  
WARNING. Fuel is highly flammable.  
Keep fuel in a jerry can specially made for  
this purpose.  
Keep your distance. The blower emits exhaust fumes.  
Ensure bystanders keep a safe distance.  
Ensure you use oil-mix fuel. Ensure that you mix 40 parts  
unleaded fuel to 1 part engine grade oil. If not, the engine  
will overheat and cause damage to your blower.  
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine  
is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.  
Stop the engine before re-fuelling.  
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire:  
– If the blower starts to vibrate abnormally (find and  
remove the cause of the vibration immediately).  
Fill the fuel tank with a funnel and outside. Do not  
smoke or use a mobile phone during this process.  
Reduce the throttle before turning off the engine and turn  
the fuel off when you have finished blowing.  
Fill with fuel and oil before starting the engine.  
Never open the cap of the fuel tank to add gasoline while  
the engine is running or still hot.  
Do not start the engine if there is spilt fuel on the  
blower or in the area surrounding. Take the blower  
away from the zone where fuel has been split and  
avoid any contact from a hot source as long as the split  
gasoline is completely evaporated.  
The user is responsible for the safety of other people,  
animals and objects in the working area. Keep children  
and domestic animals at a safe distance while the blower  
is in use.  
Unpacking  
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely  
that your petrol line trimmer 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.  
Tighten the fuel tank cap and jerry can cap tightly.  
Additional safety rules for petrol blowers  
Do not operate in a hazardous location. Such areas  
include where there is a risk of explosion of petrol fumes,  
leaking gas or explosive dust.  
Do not operate in a confined area. Exhaust gases,  
smoke or fumes could reach dangerous concentrations.

formation of mould.  
Adjusting the engine idle speed  
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit  
and keep the air vents free from obstructions. Do not  
use water or a hose to clean the unit.  
If your blower is delivering poor performance or  
running roughly then you may need to adjust the  
engine idle speed.  
Whenever the machine is not used for a long period of time,  
proceed as follows:  
Start the blower engine.  
Run the engine at idle speed until operating temperature  
is reached, approximately 2–3 minutes.  
Give the petrol blower an overall cleaning and a  
thorough check.  
Use a screwdriver to adjust  
the engine idle speed to  
(2800–3000) RPM.  
Empty the fuel tank completely, then clean the  
carburetor and lines by running the blower until it  
stops from lack of fuel.  
Turn the idle screw clockwise
