cleaner.
THE USE OF THE VACUUM
CLEANER
Electrical Precautions
See also the electrical safety
precautions listed under "Important
Safety Instructions" at the beginning of
this manual.
Only connect the machine to a correctly
installed power socket.
The vacuum cleaner should only be
connected to the power supply via a
ground-fault circuit interrupter rated for
at least 120 V, 60 Hz.
Electrical Cords
When using extension cords, ensure
that the minimum conductor cross-
sections are maintained – see
"Connecting to Power Supply."
Appropriate extension cords are
available in special stores for electrical
equipment. Use only extension cords
that comply with the specifications for
the respective application.
Unsuitable extension cords may be
dangerous.
Warning!
To avoid the risk of short-circuiting,
never spray the upper part of the vac-
uum cleaner with water.
Warning!
Special precautions for vacuum clean-
ers must be observed to reduce the risk
of personal injury and property damage
from fire and electric shock.
Warning!
Inspect the power supply cord and the
plug regularly for signs of damage and
ageing.
Warning!
In order to reduce the risk
of serious injury from
electrocution, never use
your vacuum cleaner if
the power supply cord or
plug is cut, cracked, worn
or damaged.
Have your STIHL servicing dealer
replace such a power supply cord.
Warning!
The voltage and frequency of the power
supply must agree with the voltage and
frequency specified on the vacuum
cleaner’s rating plate. Improper voltage
will damage the vacuum cleaner‘s motor
and may cause personal injury.
Warning!
Be sure the power switch is off when
plugging the unit into the power supply
in order to reduce the risk of fire or elec-
trical shock from arcing and the risk of
injury from unintended vacuuming.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock, do not use the
vacuum cleaner in damp
or wet locations. Do not
expose to or use in rain.
Do not handle the plug or
the unit with wet hands.
Warning!
When using the vacuum cleaner,
always keep the power supply cord
behind you. Always ensure that your
power supply cord does not become
entangled with obstacles or objects.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, and
sharp edges. Do not close a door on the
cord. Never pull or carry vacuum
cleaner by power supply cord or jerk
power supply cord to disconnect the
plug from the wall outlet. To unplug,
grasp the plug not the cord. Damaged
cords may cause electrocution. Always
disconnect the plug from the power sup-
ply when you take a break.
