Proper Clothing
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Clothing must be sturdy and snug-fitting,
but allow complete freedom of
movement.
Avoid loose-fitting jackets, scarfs,
neckties, jewelry, flared or cuffed pants,
unconfined long hair or anything that
could become drawn into the air intake.
Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.
Good footing is very important. Do not
wear sandals or go barefoot.
THE POWER TOOL
For illustrations and definitions of the
power tool parts see the chapter on
“Main Parts and Controls.”
If this tool is subjected to unusually high
loads for which it was not designed (e.g.
heavy impact or a fall), always check
that it is in good condition before
continuing work. Check in particular that
the controls and safety devices are
working properly. Do not continue
operating this machine if it is damaged.
In case of doubt, have it checked by your
STIHL servicing dealer.
THE USE OF THE ELECTRIC
BLOWER
Electrical Precautions
See also the electrical safety
precautions listed under "Important
safety precautions" at the beginning of
this manual.
Warning!
Be alert – if you get tired, take a break.
Tiredness may result in loss of control.
Working with any power tool can be
strenuous. If you have any condition that
might be aggravated by strenuous work,
check with your doctor before operating
this machine.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
To reduce the risk of
injury to your eyes never
operate your power tool
unless wearing goggles
or properly fitted protec-
tive glasses with ade-
quate top and side protection complying
with ANSI Z 87.1 (or your applicable
national standard).
Warning!
Power tool noise may
damage your hearing.
Wear sound barriers (ear
plugs or ear mufflers) to
protect your hearing.
Continual and regular
users should have their hearing checked
regularly.
Warning!
Never modify this power tool in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or
expressly approved by STIHL for use
with the specific STIHL model are
authorized. Although certain unauthor-
ized attachments are useable with
STIHL power tools, their use may, in
fact, be extremely dangerous.
Warning!
Never operate your machine if it is dam-
aged or not completely and securely
assembled.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not oper-
ate your blower unless it has a properly
mounted blower tube.
Warning!
Small particles (e.g. dust) blown through
the blower tube and nozzle can cause a
static charging of the blower tube. This
is especially true in low humidity and
high dust conditions. In order to reduce
the risk of shock from static charging
and subsequent injury from loss of con-
trol, your blower has features designed
to help reduce the build up of static elec-
tricity in the blower tube and equalize
the charge with the engine and/or opera-
tor.
