Why won't my Stihl Blower start, and one LED flashes green?
If your Stihl Blower doesn't start, and one LED on the battery flashes green, the battery charge is low. You should charge the battery.
Why Stihl Blower runtime is too short?
A Stihl Blower's short runtime can be attributed to: * The battery not being fully charged. Charge the battery. * The battery's useful life being reached or exceeded. Check the battery and replace it if necessary. * The sweeping height being set too low, causing the side broom contact pressure to be too high. Adjust the sweeping height to suit the surface being cleaned.
What to do if Stihl Blower cuts out during operation?
If your Stihl Blower cuts out during operation, it could be due to the following reasons: * The battery or machine's electronics are too hot. Remove the battery and allow both the battery and machine to cool down. * There is an electrical or electromagnetic malfunction. Remove the battery and refit it. * The thermal overload cutout has tripped because the brush contact pressure is too high. Adjust the brush contact pressure to suit the surface being cleaned and wait about 30 seconds for the overload cutout to cool down. * The thermal overload cutout has tripped because the side broom or roller brush is blocked. Remove the blockage and wait about 30 seconds for the overload cutout to cool down. If the roller brush is blocked, press the switch to reset the overload cutout.
