Physical Condition
To operate the power tool you must be
rested, in good physical condition and
mental health.
If you have any condition that might be
aggravated by strenuous work, check
with your doctor before operating a
power tool.
Persons with pacemakers only: The
ignition system of your power tool
produces an electromagnetic field of a
very low intensity. This field may
interfere with some pacemakers. To
reduce health risks, STIHL recommends
that persons with pacemakers consult
their physician and the pacemaker
manufacturer before operating this tool.
Do not operate the power tool if you are
under the influence of any substance
(drugs, alcohol) which might impair
vision, dexterity or judgment.
Applications
The blower is designed for blow-
sweeping leaves, grass, paper and
similar materials, e.g. in gardens, sports
stadiums, car parks and driveways. It is
also suitable for blow-sweeping forest
paths.
Do not blow-sweep hazardous
materials.
It must not be used for any other
purpose because of the increased risk of
accidents and damage to the power tool
itself. Never attempt to modify the power
tool in any way since this may result in
accidents or damage to the power tool.
Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Wear sturdy shoes with non-slip soles.
STIHL offers a comprehensive range of
personal protective clothing and
equipment.
Transporting the Power Tool
Always stop the engine.
Transporting in a vehicle:
– Properly secure your power tool to
prevent turnover, fuel spillage and
damage.
Fueling
Always shut off the engine before
refueling.
Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill
and cause a fire.
Always remove the power tool from your
back before refueling. Fuel the unit only
when it is standing on the ground.
Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release
slowly and avoid fuel spillage.
Fuel your power tool only in well-
ventilated areas. If you spill fuel, wipe
the machine immediately – if fuel gets on
your clothing, change immediately.
This reduces the risk of unit vibrations
causing the fuel cap to loosen or come
off and spill quantities of fuel.
Clothing must be sturdy
but allow complete free
-
dom of movement. Wear
snug-fitting clothing, an
overall and jacket combi
-
nation, do not wear a
work coat.
Avoid any clothing,
scarves, neckties, jewel
-
lery or anything that could
get into the air intake. Tie
up and confine long hair
(e.g. with a hair net, cap,
hard hat, etc.).
Wear safety glasses and
hearing protection, e.g.
earplugs or ear muffs.
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. Keep
clear of naked flames. Do
not spill any fuel – do not
smoke.
Check for leakage. To
reduce the risk of serious
of fatal burn injuries, do
not start or run the engine
until leak is fixed.
After fueling, tighten
down the screw-type fuel
cap as securely as
possible.
