Operating instructions
Stop the engine immediately if you are 
approached.
Using the Vacuum Attachment
(only BG 56, BG 86, SH 56, SH 86)
For specific assembling instructions, 
see the appropriate section of your 
instruction manual.
Your shredder vacuum is designed for 
two-handed operation. Hold and operate 
the unit with your right hand on the 
control handle and your left hand on the 
assist handle.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not 
operate the machine unless it is fully 
assembled with a properly mounted 
suction tube and catcher bag.
Warning!
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous 
and can cause severe or fatal injury, 
respiratory illness or cancer. The use 
and disposal of asbestos-containing 
products have been strictly regulated 
by OSHA and the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency. If you have any reason 
to believe that you might be blowing or 
otherwise disturbing asbestos, immedi-
ately contact your employer or a local 
OSHA representative.
Warning!
Dust with silica in its composition may 
contain crystalline silica. Silica is a 
basic component of sand, quartz, brick, 
clay, granite and numerous other min-
erals and rocks, including masonry and 
concrete products. Repeated and / or 
substantial inhalation of airborne crys-
talline silica can cause serious or fatal 
respiratory disease, including silicosis. 
In addition, the state of California and 
some other authorities have listed 
respirable crystalline silica as a sub-
stance known to cause cancer. When 
encountering such materials, always 
follow the respiratory precautions men-
tioned above
Warning!
In the event of an emergency, switch off 
the engine immediately – move the 
slide control / stop switch to 0 or STOP
In order to reduce 
the risk of personal 
or even fatal injury 
to bystanders from 
blown objects 
keep bystanders at 
least 16 feet (5m) 
away when the 
power tool is 
running.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do 
not direct air blast towards bystanders, 
since the high pressure of the air flow 
can injure eyes and can blow small 
objects at great speed. Do not direct 
airblast towards pets.
Warning!
The blower fan between the air intake 
and output openings rotates whenever 
the engine is running.
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.
Do not place the blower on the ground 
when operating at high speed, because 
small objects such as sand, grass, dust, 
etc. may be pulled into the air intake 
and damage the fan wheel. It is best to 
turn the machine off when putting it on 
the ground.
Warning!
The muffler other parts of the engine 
(e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug) 
become hot during operation and 
remain hot for a while after stopping the 
engine. To reduce risk of burns do not 
touch the muffler and other parts while 
they are hot.
