Before Starting
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the instruction
manual.
– Throttle trigger must move freely
and spring back to the idle position
when released.
– Setting lever/switch must move
easily to STOP or 0
– Keep the handles dry and clean –
free from oil and dirt – for safe
control of the power tool.
– The blower tubes must be properly
assembled.
– Check that the spark plug boot is
secure – a loose boot may cause
arcing that could ignite combustible
fumes and cause a fire.
– Check condition of impeller wheel
and impeller housing – see chapter
on "Using the Vacuum Shredder".
A worn impeller housing (cracks, nicks,
chips) may result in an increased risk of
injury from thrown foreign objects. If the
impeller housing is damaged, consult
your dealer – STIHL recommends you
contact a STIHL servicing dealer.
Never attempt to modify the controls or
the safety devices in any way.
To reduce the risk of accidents and
personal injury, do not operate your
power tool if it is not properly assembled
and in good condition.
Starting the engine
Start the engine at least 3 meters from
the fueling spot, outdoors only.
Your power tool is designed to be
operated by one person only. Do not
allow other persons in the work area –
even when starting.
Do not drop start your machine – the
correct starting procedure is described
in the instruction manual.
Place the power tool on level ground,
make sure you have secure footing, hold
the power tool securely.
As soon as the engine starts, the air flow
may throw small objects (e.g. stones) in
your direction.
Using the Blower
Your blower is designed for one-handed
operation. It must be carried by the
control handle in the right hand.
Always hold the power tool firmly in your
hand.
Walk slowly forwards as you work –
observe the nozzle outlet at all times –
do not walk backwards – risk of
stumbling.
The round nozzle is particularly suitable
for use on uneven surfaces (e.g. fields
and lawns).
The fan nozzle (either included with
power tool or available as special
accessory) produces a broad and
powerful airstream at ground level. It can
be aimed and controlled very accurately.
This nozzle is highly effective for blow-
sweeping sawdust, leaves, grass
cuttings, etc. on flat surfaces.
Using the Vacuum Attachment
For specific assembling instructions,
see appropriate chapter in this manual.
