Method Of Operation; Maintenance Instructions - Makita BBX7600CA Instructions D'emploi

Method of operation

• Use the blower only in good light and visibility. Beware of slippery or
wet areas, ice and snow (risk of slipping), and narrow space.
Always ensure a safe footing.
• Never work on unstable surfaces or steep terrain.
• Do not work from ladders or high places. Otherwise it may result in
personal injury.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not direct air blast towards
bystanders, since the high pressure of the air flow could injure eyes
and could blow small objects at great speed.
• Never insert any foreign object into the air intake of the machine or into
the nozzle of the blower. It will damage the fan wheel and may cause
serious injury to the operator or bystanders as a result of the object or
broken parts being thrown out at high speed.
• Pay attention to the direction of the wind, i.e., do not work against the
wind.
• To reduce the risk of stumbling and loss of control, do not walk
backward while operating the machine.
• Always shut off the engine before cleaning or servicing the unit or
replacing parts.
• Take a rest to prevent loss of control caused by fatigue. We
recommend to take a 10 to 20-minute rest every hour.
• Keep all parts of your body away from hot surfaces.
• Avoid blowing debris towards people, pets, open windows, or cars
when using unit.
• To reduce damage from vibration and/or damage to the ears, operate
the machine at low speed if possible and limit the time of operation.
• Operate the machine only at reasonable hours. Do not operate the
blower in the morning or late at night when people might be disturbed.
Comply with times listed in local ordinances.
• It is recommended for using rakes and brooms to loosen debris before
blowing.
• Before blowing, slightly dampen surfaces in dusty conditions or use
water mist sprayer if necessary.
• Conserve water by using blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and
garden applications, including areas such as gutters, screens, patios,
grills, porches, and gardens.
• Adjust the length of the blower nozzle so that the stream can work
close to the ground.
• To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used
at any one time.
After using blowers and other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris
in trash receptacles.
