Before Starting Work
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the instruction
manual.
Check contacts in battery
–
compartment for foreign matter.
Fit the battery correctly – it must
–
engage audibly.
Never use defective or deformed
–
batteries.
The trigger switch and trigger
–
lockout must move freely (retaining
latch to ‚) – switches must return to
the idle position when they are
released.
The nozzle tubes must be properly
–
mounted.
26
Keep the handles dry and clean –
–
free from oil and dirt – for safe
control of the power tool.
Never attempt to modify the controls
–
or the safety devices in any way.
Check condition of impeller
–
housing.
A worn blower housing (cracks, nicks,
chips) may result in an increased risk of
injury from thrown foreign objects. If the
impeller housing is damaged, consult
your dealer – STIHL recommends you
contact a STIHL servicing dealer.
To reduce the risk of accidents, do not
operate the unit if it is not properly
assembled and in good condition.
During Operation
In case of imminent danger or in an
emergency, switch off the motor
immediately, move retaining latch to ƒ
and remove the battery.
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.
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 (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.
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.
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.
