(i.e., not too rich), this screen will
normally stay clean as a result of the
heat from the muffler and need no
service or maintenance. If you
experience loss of performance and you
suspect a clogged screen, have your
muffler maintained by a STIHL servicing
dealer. Some state or federal laws or
regulations may require a properly
maintained spark arrestor for certain
uses. See the "Maintenance, Repair and
Storing" section of these Safety
Precautions. Remember that the risk of
a brush or forest fire is greater in hot or
dry conditions.
WARNING
Using the Vacuum Attachment
(only BG 56, BG 86, SH 56, SH 86)
For specific assembling instructions,
see the appropriate section of your
instructions manual. Do not use this
appliance in vacuum mode without the
catcher bag.
The vacuum attachment 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.
Wear the catcher bag shoulder strap
over your left shoulder – not across your
chest – so that you can quickly throw off
the unit and catcher bag in an
emergency.
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
Some STIHL power tools
are equipped with a cata-
lytic converter, which is
designed to reduce the
exhaust emissions of the
engine by a chemical
process in the muffler.
Due to this process, the
muffler does not cool
down as rapidly as con-
ventional mufflers when
the engine returns to idle
or is shut off. To reduce
the risk of fire and burn
injuries when using a cat-
alytic converter, always
set your power tool down
in the upright position and
never locate it where the
muffler is near dry brush,
grass, wood chips or
other combustible materi-
als while it is still hot.
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.
In order to reduce the risk
of injury from contact with
rotating parts and dam-
age to the engine, the
intake screen must
always be closed and the
locking tab engaged
when the suction tube is
not mounted. Stop
engine and wait until the
fan is stopped before
opening the intake
screen.
To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury from fire and
explosion, never attempt
to vacuum hot or burning
substances (e.g. smol-
dering ashes, glowing
cigarettes) or combusti-
ble fluids (e.g. gasoline,
paint thinners).
