for short distances. When transporting it
in a vehicle, properly secure the power
tool to prevent turnover and damage.

lockout must move freely and always
spring back to the idle position (retaining
latch on ‚). Never attempt to modify the
controls or safety devices.
WARNING
Never operate your power tool if it is
damaged, improperly adjusted or
maintained, or not completely or
securely assembled.
WARNING
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.
Keep the handle clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
it free of moisture, pitch, oil, grease or
resin in order for you to maintain a firm
grip and properly control your power
tool.
Check contacts in battery compartment
for foreign matter. Keep clean.
Fit the battery correctly – it must engage
audibly.
For starting, see chapter on "Switching
On".
WARNING
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when
starting.
During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on a ladder, in a tree
or any other insecure support. Never
hold the machine above shoulder
height.
The blower is designed for single-
handed operation with either the right or
left hand on the control handle.
When working with the blower, always
wrap your fingers tightly around the
handle, keeping the control handle
cradled between your thumb and
forefinger. Keep your hand in this
position to have your machine under
control at all times.
To reduce the risk of stumbling and loss
of control, do not walk backward while
operating the machine.
Special care must be taken in slippery
conditions (wet ground, snow) and in
difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for
hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,
roots and ditches to avoid stumbling. For
better footing, clear away fallen
branches, scrub and cuttings. Be
extremely cautious when working on
slopes or uneven ground.
