Husqvarna 170BT ユーザーズマニュアル

English

WORKING CONDITIONS

1. Refrain from operating the blower if you are tired, ill, or upset, 

or if you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or 
medication

2. To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound 

levels, hearing protection is required.

3. To reduce the risk of injury associated 

with thrown objects, always wear eye 
protection and foot protection. 
Approved protective goggles must 
comply with standard ANSI Z87.1 in the 
USA or EN 166 in EU countries.

4. To reduce the risk of injury associated 

with the inhalation of dust, use a face 
filter mask in dusty conditions.

5. Wear rubber-soled shoes or shoes with 

some other form of anti-slip protection 
to help protect you against falling.

6. To reduce the risk of injury associated 

with objects being drawn into rotating 
parts, do not wear loose clothing, 
scarves, neck chains, unconfined long 
hair, or other loose material.

7. Prolonged use of a blower, exposing 

the operator to vibrations and cold, may produce whitefinger 
disease (Raynaud’s phenomenon), the symptoms of which 
include tingling and burning sensations followed by loss of 
color and numbness in the fingers. All factors which 
contribute to whitefinger disease are not known, but cold 
weather, smoking diseases or physical conditions as well as 
long periods of exposure to vibration are mentioned as 
factors. In order to reduce the risk of whitefinger disease, the 
following precautions are strongly recommended

a) Keep your body warm. Never use the blower during rain.
b) Wear thick anti-vibration gloves. 
c) Take more than 5 minutes of break 

in a warm place frequently.

d) Maintain a firm grip at all times, but 

do not squeeze the handles with 
constant, excessive pressure.

e) If you feel discomfort, redness and 

swelling of your fingers or any other 
part of your body, see a doctor 
before it gets 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 serious or fatal injury, 
people with pacemaker should consult their physician and 
the pacemaker manufacturer before operating this tool.

WORKING CIRCUMSTANCE

1. To reduce the risk of injury associated 

with exhaust fume inhalation, do not 
operate in unventilated area. The 
exhaust gases contain harmful carbon 
monoxide.

2. Avoid using the blower where stable 

footing and balance are not assured.

3. Never operate the machine in high 

wind, bad weather, when visibility is 
poor or in very high or low temperatures.
(Our recommended use environment is below 40 degrees C 
(104 degrees F).)

AVOID NOISE PROBLEM

1. Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours, not 

early in the morning or late at night when people might be 
disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances. 

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 schedule, allow plenty of time to 

rest. Limit the amount of time over which the product is to be 
used continuously to somewhere around 30 to 40 minutes per 
session, and take 10 to 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

a) Handle fuel with care. It is highly 

flammable.

b) Do not smoke while handing fuel.
c) Do not refuel a hot engine.
d) Do not refuel a running engine. 
e) Avoid spilling fuel or oil. Always wipe 

unit dry before using. 

f ) Move at least 10 ft. (3 meters) away 

from the fueling point before starting 
the engine. 

g) Always store gasoline in a container approved for flammable 

liquids. 

h)  Make sure the unit is properly assembled and in good 

operating condition.

i ) Do not use the blower near a fire, as 

aiming the blower in the direction of a 
flame may cause flammable 
substances to ignite.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

• Each time before starting the engine, inspect the entire unit to 

see if every part is in good order and is securely tightened in 
place. If any damage is found in the fuel line, the exhaust line, 
or the ignition wiring, do not use the blower until it has been 
repaired.
