tect you against falling.
6.To reduce the risk of injury asso-
ciated with objects being drawn
into rotating parts, do not wear
loose clothing, scarves, neck
chains, unconfined long hair, and
the like.
7.Prolonged use of a blower,
exposing the operator to vibra-
tions and cold may produce
whitefinger disease (Raynaud’s
phenomenon), which symptoms
are tingling and burning sensa-
tions followed by loss of color
and numbness in the fingers. All
factors which contribute to
whitefinger disease are not
known, but cold weather, smok-
ing diseases or physical condi-
tions as well as long periods of
exposure to vibration are men-
tioned as factors. In order to
reduce the risk of whitefinger dis-
ease, the following precautions
are strongly recommended; 
a)Keep your body warm. Never
use blower during rains.
b)Wear thick anti-vibration
gloves.
c)Take more than 5 minutes of
break in warm place frequently.
d)Maintain a firm grip at all times,
but do not squeeze the handles
with constant, excessive pres-
sures.
e)If you feel discomfort, redness
and swelling of your fingers or
any other part of your body, see a
doctor before getting worse.
8.The ignition system of your unit
produces an electromagnetic
field of a very low intensity. This
field may interfere with some
pacemakers. To reduce the risk of

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
•When planning your work sched-
ule, allow plenty of time to rest.
Limit the amount of time over
which the product is to be used
continuously to somewhere
around 30 ~ 40 minutes per ses-
sion, and take 10 ~ 20 minutes of
rest between work sessions. Also
try to keep the total amount of
work performed in a single day
under 2 hours or less.

							• FUEL
Gasoline is very flamma-
ble. Avoid smoking or bringing any flame or
sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the
engine and allow it cool before refueling the
unit. 
Select outdoor bare ground for fueling and
move at least 3 m (10 ft) away from the fuel-
ing point before starting the engine.
•The engines are lubricated by oil specially for-
mulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine
use. Use an anti-oxidant added quality oil
expressly labeled for air-cooled 2-cycle engine
use (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC
GRADE).
•Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-cool-
ing type) mixed oil.
•RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO GASO-
LINE 50: OIL 1
•Exhaust emission are controlled by the funda-
mental engine parameters and components
(eq., carburation, ignition timing and port tim-
ing) without addition of any major hardware or
the introduction of an inert material during
combustion.
•These engines are certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline.
•Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum
octane number of 89RON (USA/Canada:
87AL).
•If you use a gasoline of a lower octane value
than prescribed, there is a danger that the

!WARNING!engine temperature may rise and an engine
problem such as piston seizing may conse-
quently occur.
•Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce
the contamination of the air for the sake of
your health and the environment.
•Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage
sealing rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the
engine.
•HOW TO MIX FUEL
Pay attention to agitation.
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil
to be mixed.
2.Put some of the gasoline into a clean,
approved fuel container.
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.
4. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again
for at least one minute. As some oils may be
difficult to agitate depending on oil ingredi-
ents, sufficient agitation is necessary for the
engine to last long. Be careful that, if the agi-
tation is insufficient, there is an increased
danger of early piston seizing due to abnor-
mally lean mixture.
5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the
container to avoid mixing up with gasoline or
other containers.
6. Indicate the contents on outside of container
for easy identification.
•FUELING THE UNIT
1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the
cap on a dustless place.
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full
capacity.
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any
fuel spillage around the unit.

!WARNING!4. Fuel
6 6EN
4. Fuel  
						

							1. Select flat and bare ground for fueling.
2. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from
the fueling point before starting the
engine.
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit.
At that time, be sure to sufficiently agitate
the mixed gasoline in the container.
•FOR YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID:
1. FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE) – It will
cause severe damage to the internal engine
parts very quickly.
2. GASOHOL – It can cause deterioration of
rubber and/or plastic parts and disruption of
engine lubrication.
3. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE – It can
cause spark plug fouling, exhaust port block-
ing, or piston ring sticking.
4.Mixed fuels which have been left unused
for a period of one monthor more may clog
the carburetor and result in the engine failing
to operate properly.
5. In the case of storing the product for a long
period of time, clean the fuel tank after ren-
dering it empty. Next, activate the engine and
empty the carburetor of the composite fuel.
6. In the case of scrapping the used mixed oil
container, scrap it only at an authorized
repository site.
Moreover, normal wear and
change in product with no functional influence
are not covered by the warranty. Also, be careful
that, if the usage in the instruction manual is not
observed as to the mixed gasoline, etc.
described therein, it may not be covered by the
warranty..

							EN6. Maintenance and Storage9
Make sure that the engine
has stopped and is cool before performing
any service to the blower. Contact with rotat-
ing blower fan or hot muffler may result in a
personal injury.
•CLEANING AIR FILTER:
Never operate the blower
without an air filter or with a deformed or broken
filter element. Check the air cleaner before use.
A clogged air filter may increase fuel consump-
tion while cutting down the engine power. Never
operate the blower without the air filter or with a
deformed filter element because unfiltered dusty
air will quickly ruin the engine.
1. Remove the air cleaner cover by pushing and
pulling back the tab on the top.
2. Use neutral detergent and warm water to
clean the filter element. After cleaning, air dry
the element completely.
3. Install the filter element into the air cleaner
housing and press the cover against the

!WARNING!
housing until clicks. If the element is broken
or shrunk, replace with a new one.
•FUEL FILTER
A clogged fuel filter may cause poor acceleration
of the engine. 
Check periodically to see if the filter is clogged
with dirt. 
The filter can be taken out of the fueling port
using a small wire hook. Disconnect the filter
assembly from the fuel pipe and unhook the
retainer to disassemble it. 
Clean the components with gasoline.
•SPARK PLUG
The spark plug may gather carbon deposits on
its firing end with reasonable use. Remove and
inspect the spark plug every 25 hours and clean
the electrodes as necessary with a wire brush.
