￭ To help reduce the risk of personal injury:
5.4 Blower
WARNING
￭ This blower is intended only for garden and landscape
maintenance. Use for other purposes may increase the
risk of personal injury and property damage.
– Read and follow the operating instructions in this
manual for approved applications, @ 14.
￭ To reduce the risk of personal injury to the operator and
bystanders:
– Always shut off the engine before assembling,
transporting, adjusting, inspecting, cleaning,
servicing, maintaining or storing the blower.
– Shut off the blower anytime it is not in use.
￭ To reduce the risk of fire and explosion:
– Only use the spark plug specified in this instruction
manual and make sure it and the ignition lead are
clean and in good condition.
– Always press the spark plug boot snugly onto the
spark plug terminal of the proper size.
– Never test the ignition system with the spark plug
boot removed from the spark plug or with a removed
spark plug.
￭ Although certain unauthorized attachments may fit your
STIHL blower, their use may be extremely dangerous.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or expressly
approved by STIHL for use with this specific model are
recommended.

approved by STIHL.
– Never modify this blower in any way.
– Never attempt to modify or override the blower's
controls or safety devices in any way.
– Never use a blower that has been modified or altered
from its original design.
￭ Any modification to your muffler or spark arresting screen
could cause an increase in heat radiation, sparks or sound
level, thereby increasing the risk of fire, burn injury or
hearing loss. You may also permanently damage the
engine.
– Never modify your muffler or spark arresting screen.
￭ If the blower is dropped or subjected to similar heavy
impacts:

functioning properly before continuing work.

by your authorized STIHL servicing dealer.
￭ Genuine STIHL replacement parts are specifically
designed to match your blower and meet safety and
performance requirements. Use of parts that are not
authorized or approved by STIHL may cause serious or
fatal injury or property damage.
– STIHL recommends that only identical STIHL
replacement parts be used.
– Wear substantial footwear with non-slip
soles. Do not wear sandals, flip-flops,
open-toed or similar footwear. Wear
steel-toed safety boots.

non-slip work gloves made of leather or
another wear-resistant material when
