Stihl BGA 100 Notice D'emploi page 29

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.
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.
Do not poke objects through the intake
screen or push the nozzle inside the
housing and make sure no objects are
sucked through the intake screen. Risk
of injury from expelled objects and risk of
damaging the blower.
If there is a noticeable change in running
behavior (e.g. higher vibrations), stop
work and rectify the cause of the
problem.
If your blower 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.
BGA 100
Before leaving the blower unattended:
Switch off the blower, move the retaining
latch to ƒ and pull the connecting cord
plug out of the socket,
After Finishing Work
Always clean dust and dirt off the blower
– do not use any grease solvents for this
purpose.
Do not spray the blower with water.
Do not use a pressure washer to clean
your blower. The solid jet of water may
damage parts of the blower.
Vibrations
This power tool minimizes the vibrations
transmitted to the operator's hands.
However, the operator should seek
medical advice in the event of suspected
circulatory problems in the hands (e.g.
tingling sensation in the fingers).
Maintenance and Repairs
Before performing any maintenance or
repair work, move the retaining latch to
ƒ and pull the connecting cord plug out
of the socket. This avoids the risk of the
motor starting unintentionally.
Service the machine regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in the instruction manual.
Have all other work performed by a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend
training courses and are supplied with
the necessary technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts
in order to avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the machine. If you have
any questions in this respect, consult a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
Never attempt to modify your machine in
any way since this will increase the risk
of personal injury.
Regularly check the electrical contacts
and ensure that the insulation of the
connecting cord and plug of the charger
is in good condition and shows no sign
of aging (brittleness).
Electrical components, e.g. connecting
cord of charger, may only be repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Clean plastic surfaces with a cloth. Do
not use aggressive detergents. They
may damage the plastic.
Carefully clean the intake screen in the
housing with a soft brush whenever
required.
Keep the socket free from foreign matter
– clean as necessary.
Store the machine in a dry, locked
location with the retaining latch on ƒ
and the connecting cord disconnected.
