During operation

Always hold the garden tool firmly in your hand.

Walk slowly forwards as you work, observe the nozzle outlet at all times.

To reduce the risk of injury, operate the unit only with a properly mounted blower tube.

The flat nozzle produces a broad and powerful airstream at ground level. It can be aimed and controlled very accurately.

This garden tool is design to be used by one person only. Do not allow other persons in the work area.

Do not direct the airflow towards bystanders or animals since the airflow can blow small objects at great speeds.
