Before Starting
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the instruction
manual.
–
Throttle trigger must move freely
and spring back to the idle position
when released.
–
The setting lever must move easily
to STOP or 0
–
The blower tubes must be properly
assembled.
–
Keep the handles dry and clean –
free from oil and dirt – for safe
control of the power tool.
–
Check that the spark plug boot is
secure – a loose boot may cause
arcing that could ignite combustible
fumes and cause a fire.
–
Never attempt to modify the controls
or the safety devices in any way.
–
Check condition of impeller
housing.
A worn impeller 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 and
personal injury, do not operate your
power tool if it is not properly assembled
and in good condition.
For emergencies: Practise quickly
opening the fastener on the waist belt,
loosening the shoulder straps and
setting down the unit.
Start the engine.
Start the engine at least 3 meters from
the fueling spot, outdoors only.
Your power tool is designed to be
operated by one person only. Do not
allow other persons in the work area –
even when starting.
Do not drop start your machine – the
correct starting procedure is described
in the instruction manual.
Place the unit on level ground, make
sure you have secure footing, hold the
unit securely.
As soon as the engine starts, the air flow
may throw small objects (e.g. stones) in
your direction.
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
The unit s carried as a backpack. Hold
and control the blower tube with your
right hand on the control handle – even
if you are left-handed.
Walk slowly forwards as you work –
observe the nozzle outlet at all times –
do not walk backwards – risk of
stumbling.
Always shut off the engine before taking
the power tool off your back.
During Operation
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately by moving the setting lever
to STOP or 0.
To reduce the risk of personal injury , do
not allow any other persons within a
radius of 15 meters of your own position.
