Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your vacuum cleaner.
Observe all applicable local safety
regulations, standards and ordinances.
Use your vacuum cleaner for vacuuming
of dry, non-flammable materials (dust,
dirt, broken glass, wood or metal
shavings, sand, etc.) and non-
flammable liquids (dirty water, spilled
juices, etc.)
The vacuum cleaner is suitable for more
demanding commercial or industrial
use, as e.g., in hotels, schools,
hospitals, factories, shops, offices and
stores.
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
vacuum cleaners. Different models may
have different parts and controls. See
the appropriate section of your
instruction manual for a description of
the controls and the function of the parts
of your model.
Safe use of a vacuum cleaner involves
1. the operator
2. the vacuum cleaner
3. the use of the vacuum cleaner
THE OPERATOR
Physical Condition
You must be in good physical condition
and mental health and not under the
influence of any substance (drugs,
alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,
dexterity or judgment. Do not operate
this vacuum cleaner when you are
fatigued.
THE VACUUM CLEANER
For illustrations and definitions of the
vacuum cleaner parts see the chapter
on "Main Parts and Controls."
If this unit 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.
The vacuum cleaner may only be used
when all parts are in proper working
order.
Ensure that the filter element is always
in place and undamaged.
Do not use with a damaged or missing
filter element.
The machine may only be operated in an
upright position. Do not cover the
machine and ensure adequate motor
ventilation.
Warning!
Do not use the vacuum cleaner for other
purposes, since misuse may result in
personal injury or property damage,
including damage to the vacuum
cleaner. The vacuum cleaner must not
be modified in any way – this may also
lead to accidents or damage to the vac-
uum cleaner.
Warning!
Minors should never be allowed to use
this vacuum cleaner. Bystanders, espe-
cially children, and animals should not
be allowed in the area where it is in use.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury to bystand-
ers and damage to property, never let
your vacuum cleaner run unattended.
When it is not in use (e.g. during a work
break), shut it off and disconnect it from
the power supply and make sure that
unauthorized persons do not use it.
Warning!
Be alert – if you get tired, take a break.
Tiredness may result in loss of control.
Working with any vacuum cleaner can
be strenuous. If you have any condition
that might be aggravated by strenuous
work, check with your doctor before
operating this vacuum cleaner.
Warning!
Never modify the vacuum cleaner in any
way. Only attachments supplied by
STIHL or expressly approved by STIHL
for use with the specific STIHL model
are authorized. Although certain unau-
thorized attachments are useable with
STIHL vacuum cleaners, their use may,
in fact, be extremely dangerous.
Warning!
Never operate your vacuum cleaner if it
is damaged or not completely and
securely assembled. In case of doubt,
have it checked by your STIHL servicing
dealer.
