SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Inspect your Blower and all its parts before each operation. If any part is damaged or worn, repair or
replace before operation. Use only genuine Lawn Star (Pty) Ltd. replacement parts when servicing or
repairing the unit. These parts are available from your supplying dealer or service agent. Have the blower
repaired only by an authorised repairer.
WARNING: Petrol and its vapours are highly flammable. Always stop the engine before refuelling. Do
not smoke or light any flames while refuelling. Wipe off any fuel that may have spilled. Start the engine
away from the place where it was refuelled. Ensure the tank cap is tightened properly.
CAUTION: Exhaust fumes are toxic and asphyxiating. Inhalation may be lethal. Do not start the engine
in closed or poorly ventilated environments.
It is essential that the operator wears safety goggles, face shield, gloves, ear muffs, protective
clothing and sturdy, non-slip footwear with toe-protector.
Inspect the unit before use. Replace damaged parts. Check for petrol leaks. Make sure all fasteners are in
place and secure. Failure to do so can result in personal injury to the operator and bystanders, as well as
damage to the unit. Children, pets and onlookers should be kept at least 15 meters away from the work
area, unless shielded by an effective barrier. If you are approached by a person or pet during use stop the
engine immediately. Never start or run the unit inside a closed room or building. Breathing exhaust fumes
can cause serious harm to a person or animal. Operate this unit only in a well-ventilated area outdoors.
Never run the unit without the proper equipment attached. When using this unit, always install the blower
tube. Switch the engine off and wait for the impeller to stop turning before putting the unit down,
performing maintenance, installing or removing the blower tubes or carrying out any maintenance.
Disconnect the spark plug before servicing or cleaning. Do not blow wet materials, liquids, flammable
materials, hot ash or any others materials that are a potential fire hazard. The operator and unit must be in
a stable position when starting the engine. Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance. Do
not touch the engine or exhaust. These parts get extremely hot from operation. When turned off they
remain hot for a while. Do not operate the unit with loose or damaged parts. Do not operate before
repairing the damaged parts. Do not place unit on any surface except a clean, hard area while engine is
running. Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc, could be picked up by the air intake and thrown out
by the discharge opening, damaging the unit, property, or causing serious injury to bystanders or operator.
Keep hands, face, and feet at a distance from all moving parts. Do not touch or try to stop the impeller
when it is rotating. Never point the Blower in the direction of people or pets, or in the direction of
windows. Always direct the blown debris away from people, animals, windows, and solid objects such as
vehicles etc. Allow the engine to cool and empty the fuel before storing or transporting. Be sure to secure
the unit while transporting. Store the unit in a dry secured area to prevent unauthorised use or damage.
Keep out of the reach of children. Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Keep
handles dry, clean and free from debris. Clean after each use, see Cleaning and Storage instructions.
Before using the appliance, ensure the blower tube is correctly fitted.
