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.
Maintenance and Repairs
Service the machine regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in the instruction manual.
Have all other work performed by a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are

Switch off the engine
before opening the intake
screen. The shield 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.
