Only use plant protection products that 
are specifically approved for use in 
sprayers/mistblowers by their 
manufacturer and that meet all 
applicable safety regulations, standards 
and ordinances.
WARNING
Do not use it for other purposes, since 
misuse may result in personal injury or 
property damage, including damage to 
the machine.
Have your STIHL dealer show you how 
to operate your power tool. Observe all 
applicable local safety regulations, 
standards and ordinances.
All operating and servicing personnel 
should be trained and familiarized with 
the proper handling procedures for the 
chemical products being used, as well 
as with first aid/emergency care, and 
liquid and dry chemical disposal 
regulations.
WARNING
Your power tool is for professional use 
only. Do not lend or rent your power tool 
without the instruction manual. Be sure 
that anyone using it understands the 
information contained in this instruction 
manual.
WARNING
Minors should never be allowed to use 
this power tool. Bystanders, especially 
children, and animals should not be 
allowed in the area where it is in use.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders 
and damage to property, never let your 
power tool run unattended. When it is 
not in use (e.g. during a work break), 
shut it off and make sure that 
unauthorized persons do not use it.
Most of these safety precautions and 
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL 
mistblowers. Different models may have 
different parts and controls. See the 
appropriate section in this instruction 
manual for a description of the controls 
and the function of the parts of your 
model.
Safe use of a mistblower involves

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 machine when you are fatigued.
WARNING
Be alert – if you get tired, take a break. 
Tiredness may result in loss of control. 
Working with any power tool can be 
strenuous. If you have any condition that 
might be aggravated by strenuous work, 
check with your doctor before operating 
this machine.
WARNING
Prolonged use of a power tool (or other 
machines) exposing the operator to 
vibrations may produce whitefinger 
disease (Raynaud's phenomenon) or 
carpal tunnel syndrome.
These conditions reduce the hand's 
ability to feel and regulate temperature, 
produce numbness and burning 
sensations and may cause nerve and 
circulation damage and tissue necrosis.
All factors which contribute to 
whitefinger disease are not known, but 
cold weather, smoking and diseases or 
physical conditions that affect blood 
vessels and blood transport, as well as 
high vibration levels and long periods of 
exposure to vibration are mentioned as 
factors in the development of whitefinger 
disease. In order to reduce the risk of 
whitefinger disease and carpal tunnel 
syndrome, please note the following:
