Warning!
Be alert – if you get tired, take a break.
Tiredness may result in loss of control.
Working with any power tool can be
strenuous. If you have any condition
that might be aggravated by strenuous
work, check with your doctor before
operating this machine.
Proper Clothing
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
To reduce the risk of
injury to your eyes never
operate your power tool
unless wearing goggles
or properly fitted protec-
tive glasses with ade-
quate top and side protection comply-
ing with ANSI Z 87.1 (or your applicable
national standard).
Warning!
Power tool noise may
damage your hearing.
Wear sound barriers (ear
plugs or ear mufflers) to
protect your hearing.
Continual and regular

Clothing must be sturdy and snug-fitting,
but allow complete freedom of
movement.
Avoid loose-fitting jackets, scarfs,
neckties, jewelry, flared or cuffed pants,
unconfined long hair or anything that
could become drawn into the air intake.
Secure hair so it is above shoulder level.
Good footing is very important. Do not
wear sandals or go barefoot.
THE POWER TOOL
For illustrations and definitions of the
power tool parts see the chapter on
"Main Parts and Controls."
Warning!
Never modify this power tool in any
way. Only attachments supplied by
STIHL or expressly approved by STIHL
for use with the specific STIHL model
are authorized. Although certain unau-
thorized attachments are useable with
STIHL power tools, their use may, in
fact, be extremely dangerous.
If this tool 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. Check in particular that
the controls and safety devices are
working properly. Do not continue
operating this machine if it is damaged.
In case of doubt, have it checked by your
STIHL servicing dealer.
Warning!
Never operate your machine if it is
damaged or not completely and
securely assembled.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not oper-
ate your blower unless it has a properly
mounted blower tube.
Warning!
Small particles (e.g. dust) blown
through the blower tube and nozzle can
cause a static charging of the blower
tube. This is especially true in low
humidity and high dust conditions. In
order to reduce the risk of shock from
static charging and subsequent injury
from loss of control, your blower has
features designed to help reduce the
build up of static electricity in the blower
tube and equalize the charge with the
engine and/or operator.
