Stihl BGE 61 Notice D'emploi page 9

Warning!
Dust with silica in its composition may
contain crystalline silica. Silica is a
basic component of sand, quartz, brick,
clay, granite and numerous other min-
erals and rocks, including masonry and
concrete products. Repeated and / or
substantial inhalation of airborne crys-
talline silica can cause serious or fatal
respiratory disease, including silicosis.
In addition, the state of California and
some other authorities have listed
respirable crystalline silica as a sub-
stance known to cause cancer. When
encountering such materials, always
follow the respiratory precautions men-
tioned above
Warning!
Always switch off the motor before
cleaning or servicing the unit or replac-
ing parts. The blower fan between the
air intake and output openings rotates
whenever the engine is running. In
order to reduce the risk of injury from
contact with the fan wheel, never oper-
ate your blower without a properly
mounted intake screen and blower
tube. Never insert any foreign object
into the air intake or output openings of
the machine.
Pay attention to the direction of the wind,
i.e., do not work against the wind.
To reduce the risk of stumbling and loss
of control, do not walk backward while
operating the machine.

All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
The vacuum attachment for the BGE 71
is a special accessory and only available

When working with the vacuum
attachment, always hold the unit firmly
with both hands. Carry the catcher bag
with the carrying harness over the right
shoulder.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury from fire and
explosion, never attempt
to pick up hot or burning
substances (e.g. smol-
dering ashes, glowing
cigarettes).
Warning!
In order to reduce the risk of personal
or even fatal injury from electrocution,
fire or explosion, never attempt to vac-
uum any liquid (e.g. water, gasoline) or
wet material (e.g. wet leaves or grass).
Warning!
In order to reduce the risk of injury from
contact with rotating parts and damage
to the motor, the intake screen must
always be secured in place when the
suction tube is not mounted.
Warning!
Never vacuum solid objects such as
nails, steel shavings, tacks, rocks or
broken glass. These objects may be
struck by the fan wheel and flung away
at high speed and may cause injury to
the operator or bystander.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
STORING
Servicing of double-insulated
Appliance
Your STIHL blower/vac is double-
insulated. In a double-insulated
appliance, two systems of insulation are
provided instead of grounding. No
grounding means is provided on a
double-insulated appliance, nor should
a means for grounding be added to the
appliance. Servicing a double-insulated
appliance requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be
done only by qualified service
