purposes, since misuse may result in
personal injury or property damage,
including damage to the machine.
WARNING
Minors should never be allowed to use
this power tool. Bystanders, especially
children, and animals should not be
allowed in the area where it is in use.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders
and damage to property, never let your
power tool run unattended. When it is
not in use (e.g. during a work break),
shut it off and make sure that
unauthorized persons do not use it.Most
of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
blowers. Different models may have
different parts and controls. See the
appropriate section of your instruction
manual for a description of the controls
and the function of the parts of your
model.
Safe use of a blower involves
1. the operator
2. the power tool
3. the use of the power tool

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.
WARNING
Prolonged use of a power tool (or other
machines) exposing the operator to
vibrations may produce whitefinger
disease (Rayn aud's phenomenon) or
carpal tunnel syndrome.
These conditions reduce the hand's
ability to feel and regulate temperature,
produce numbness and burning
sensations and may cause nerve and
circulation damage and tissue necrosis.
All factors which contribute to white-
finger disease are not known, but cold
weather, smoking and diseases or
physical conditions that affect blood
vessels and blood transport, as well as
high vibration levels and long periods of
exposure to vibration are mentioned as
factors in the development of whitefinger
disease. In order to reduce the risk of
whitefinger disease and carpal tunnel
syndrome, please note the following:
Most STIHL power tools are available
with an anti-vibration ("AV") system
designed to reduce the transmission of
vibrations created by the machine to the
operator's hands. An AV system is
recommended for those persons using
power tools on a regular or sustained
basis.
Keep your hands warm.
Keep the antivibrationsystem well
maintained. A power tool with loose
components or with damaged or worn
antivibration element will tend to have
higher vibration levels.
Maintain a firm grip at all times, but do
not squeeze the handles with constant,
excessive pressure. Take frequent
breaks.
All the above-mentioned precautions do
not guarantee that you will not sustain
whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel
syndrome. Therefore, continual and
regular users should closely monitor the
condition of their hands and fingers. If
any of the above symptoms appear,
seek medical advice immediately.
WARNING
The ignition system of the STIHL unit
produces an electromagnetic field of a
very low intensity. This field may
interfere with some pacemakers. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury,
persons with a pacemaker should
consult their physician and the
pacemaker manufacturer before
operating this tool.
Proper Clothing
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
