3. Fueling the Unit

This is a thermal (petrol) blower. Use a mixture of unleaded gasoline and 2-stroke engine oil at the ratio specified in the engine manual (typically 50:1 or 40:1). Always mix fuel in a separate, approved container. Fill the fuel tank carefully, avoiding overfilling. Wipe up any spills immediately.

Istruzioni per l'uso

Avviamento del motore

  1. Posizionare l'unità su una superficie piana e stabile.
  2. Assicurarsi che l'interruttore ON/OFF sia in posizione "ON".
  3. Inserire lo starter (in caso di avviamento a freddo).
  4. Premere più volte la pompetta di innesco finché il carburante non diventa visibile.
  5. Tirare la corda di avviamento con decisione e dolcezza finché il motore non si avvia.
  6. Una volta avviato, disinnestare gradualmente lo starter.

Operazione di soffiaggio

Hold the blower firmly with both hands. Direct the nozzle towards the debris you wish to move. Use a sweeping motion to gather leaves and debris into piles. The adjustable speed control allows you to vary the airflow for different tasks. The cruise control function can maintain a set speed for prolonged operation, reducing user fatigue.

Vacuuming and Shredding Operation

With the unit configured for vacuuming, lower the intake tube towards the debris. Move the unit slowly over the leaves and light debris. The powerful suction will draw material into the shredder mechanism, reducing its volume before it enters the collection bag. Monitor the collection bag and empty it when full to maintain optimal performance.
