Stihl BG 56 Notice D'emploi page 9

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.
Working Technique
To minimize blowing time, use a rake
and broom to loosen dirt particles before
you start blowing.
Recommended working technique to
minimize air pollution:
If necessary, dampen the surface to
–
be cleaned in order to avoid creating
too much dust.
Do not blow particles in the direction
–
of bystanders, in particular in the
direction of children, pets, open
windows or freshly washed
vehicles. Take special care in such
situations.
Remove the blow-swept debris in
–
rubbish bins – do not blow it onto the
neighbor's land.

Recommended working technique to
minimize noise:
Operate your power tool at
–
reasonable times only – not early in
the morning, late at night or during
midday rest periods when people
could be disturbed. Observe local
rest periods.
Operate blowers at the lowest
–
engine speed necessary to
accomplish the task.
Check your blower before starting
–
work. Pay special attention to the
muffler, air intakes and air filter.
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:
Keeping your hands warm
–
Work breaks
–
The period of usage is shortened by:
Any personal tendency to suffer
–
from poor circulation (symptoms:
frequently cold fingers, itching).
Low outside temperatures.
–
Gripping force (a tight grip hinders
–
circulation).
Continual and regular users should
monitor closely the condition of their
hands and fingers. If any of the above
symptoms appear (e.g. tingling
sensation in fingers), seek medical
advice.
