Stihl BGE 61 Notice D'emploi page 27

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.
Your vacuum shredder is designed for
two-handed operation. Hold and operate
the power tool with your right hand on
the control handle and your left hand on
the assist handle (union nut).
BGE 61, BGE 71, BGE 81, SHE 71, SHE 81
Wear the catcher bag shoulder strap
over your right shoulder, not across your
chest. This enables you to quickly
remove the power tool and catcher bag
in an emergency.
To reduce the risk of injury, operate your
power tool only with a properly mounted
suction tube and closed catcher bag.
To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury from fire,
never attempt to pick up
hot or burning sub-
stances (e.g. smoldering
ashes, glowing
cigarettes).
To reduce the risk of fatal
injury from fire or explo-
sion, never attempt to
pick up combustible fluids
(e.g. gasoline) or materi-
als soaked in
combustible fluids.
NOTICE
Vacuuming abrasive material (such as
grit, stone chips, etc.) causes the blower
wheel and blower housing to wear at a
rapid rate. This results in a considerable
loss of suction power. In such a case
you should contact your dealer. STIHL
recommends an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
Take particular care when vacuuming
wet leaves since they may block the
blower wheel and elbow.
To clear a blockage in the machine:
Switch off the motor and disconnect
–
the plug from the power supply.
Remove the elbow and suction tube
–
– see "Assembling the Shredder
Vacuum".
Clean the elbow and blower
–
housing.
During Operation
If the power cord is dam-
aged, immediately
disconnect the plug from
the power supply to avoid
the risk of electrocution.
Avoid damage to the power supply cord.
Do not drive over it, pinch or tug it.
Never jerk the connecting cord to
disconnect it from the wall outlet. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Be sure your hands are dry before
touching the plug or power cord.
In case of imminent danger or in an
emergency, move the switch
lever/trigger switch to STOP or 0 .
Your power tool is designed to be
operated by one person only. Do not
allow other persons in the work area.
Keep bystanders, especially children,
and animals away from the work area.
