Stihl BR 500 Manual De Instrucciones página 7

English / USA
For blowers with an adjustable blowing
attachment only: the control handle is
designed to conduct static electricity
through the throttle cable to the engine
and from the handle through the
operator to the ground. For these units
STIHL offers an optional kit for use in
especially dry and dusty conditions. The
kit contains: (1) blower tubes made with
graphite to help conduct the charge back
to the control handle, and (2) a metal
ring with "wire" for inseration in the end
tube that helps reduce the buildup of
static electricity.
If your blower is properly assembled and
you are still experiencing static shocks,
make sure that your footware has
conductive soles and try operating your
unit without gloves, which may be
interfering with the conduction of the
charge.

THE USE OF THE BLOWER
Transport
Always turn off the engine before taking
the machine off your back and putting it
down. When transporting your unit in a
vehicle, properly secure it to prevent
turnover, fuel spillage and damage to the
machine.
Adjust carrying harness to suit your size
before starting work.
!
Warning!
Before starting work, always inspect the
rubber buffers which connect the engine
to the pack frame. If the buffers are torn
or damaged, they should be replaced by
your STIHL dealer. Failure of one or
more buffers may cause the engine or
fuel tank to hit or rub against other parts,
and may lead to serious injury from
increased vibrations or from fire as the
result of fuel leakage.
Fuel
This STIHL unit uses an oil-gasoline
mixture for fuel (see the chapter on
"Fuel" of your owner`s manual).
!
Warning!
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. If spilled
or ignited by a spark or
other ignition source, it
can cause fire and serious
burn injury or property
damage.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of serious injury from
burns, never attempt to refuel the unit
until it has been completely removed
from the operator.
Use extreme caution when handling
gasoline or fuel mix.
Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame
near the fuel.
