Stihl BGE 61 Notice D'emploi page 26

English
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.
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 a STIHL servicing dealer.
Take particular care when vacuuming
wet leaves since they may block the
blower wheel and elbow.
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).
24
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.
Switch off the engine
before opening the intake
screen. The intake
screen must always be
closed and secured when
the suction tube is not
mounted to reduce the
risk of injury from contact
with rotating components.
This can also result in
damage to the engine.
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 power 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.
Never spray down electric appliances
with water – risk of short circuit!
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.
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.
Do not leave the machine outdoors in
the rain.
Take care in splippery conditions on
slopes and uneven ground.
Keep the connecting cord behind the
power tool at all times – do not walk
backwards – risk of stumbling.
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.
