English
To reduce the risk
of injury from
thrown objects, do
not allow any other
persons within a
radius of 5 meters
of your own
position.
To reduce the risk of damage to
property, also maintain this distance
from other objects (vehicles, windows).
Do not direct the air blast towards
bystanders or animals since the air flow
can blow small objects at great speed.
When blow-sweeping and vacuum
shredding (in open ground and
gardens), watch out for small animals to
avoid harming them.
Never leave a running machine
unattended.
Walk slowly forwards as you work –
observe the nozzle outlet at all times –
do not walk backwards – risk of
stumbling.
Keep the connecting cord behind the
power tool at all times – do not walk
backwards – risk of stumbling.
Hold your power tool in a normal,
relaxed working position. Make sure you
always have good balance and secure
footing.
Take care in slippery conditions – on
slopes and uneven ground.
Watch out for obstacles: Be careful of
refuse, tree stumps, roots and ditches
which could cause you to trip or stumble.
Never work on a ladder or any other
insecure support.

Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Stay alert so as not to endanger
others.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a
break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion.
Static electricity may build-up while
blow-sweeping large quantities of very
dusty material and suddenly discharge
in certain unfavorable conditions (e.g.
very dry work area).
If dust levels are very high, always wear
a suitable respirator.
Vacuuming unsuitable materials may
block the blower wheel. Switch off the
unit immediately and disconnect the
plug from the power supply. Then clear
the blockage.
Never attempt to insert objects into the
blower housing through the intake
screen or the nozzle. They may be
expelled at very high speed by the
blower – risk of injury.
If there is a noticeable change in running
behavior (e.g. higher vibrations), stop
work and rectify the cause of the
problem.
If your power tool 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 – see also
"Before Starting Work". Make sure the
safety devices are working properly. Do
not continue operating your power tool if
it is damaged. In case of doubt, consult
your servicing dealer.
If the machine continues to run (does not
switch off) after the trigger switch is
released, disconnect the plug from the
wall outlet and consult your STIHL
servicing dealer. The machine has a
malfunction.
Before leaving the power tool
unattended: Switch it off and disconnect
the plug from the power supply.
After Finishing Work
Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet.
Never jerk the connecting cord to
disconnect it from the wall outlet. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Always clean dust and dirt off the power
tool – do not use any grease solvents for
this purpose.
Vibrations
Prolonged use of the power tool may
result in vibration-induced circulation
problems in the hands (whitefinger
disease).
No general recommendation can be
given for the length of usage because it
depends on several factors.
The period of usage is prolonged by:
Hand protection (wearing warm
–
gloves)
Work breaks
