Warning!
The ignition system of the STIHL unit
produces an electromagnetic field of a
very low intensity. This field may inter -
fere with some pacemakers. To reduce
the risk of serious or fatal injury, persons
with a pacemaker should consult their
physician and the pacemaker manufac -
turer before operating this tool.
Proper Clothing
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator
should wear proper protective apparel.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of
injury to your eyes never
operate your power tool
unless wearing goggles
or properly fitted protec -
tive glasses with
adequate top and side protection com -
plying with ANSI Z 87.1 (or your
applicable national standard).
Power tool noise may damage your
hearing. Wear sound barriers (ear plugs
or ear mufflers) to protect your hearing.
Continual and regular users should
have their hearing checked regularly.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.

Clothing must be sturdy
and snug-fitting, but allow
complete freedom of
movement.
Avoid loose-fitting jack -
ets, scarfs, neckties,
jewelry, flared or cuffed
pants, unconfined long
hair or anything that
could become drawn into
the air intake. Secure hair
so it is above shoulder
level.
Good footing is very
important. Do not wear
sandals or go barefoot.
THE POWER TOOL
For illustrations and definitions of the
power tool parts see the chapter on
"Main Parts."
Warning!
Never modify this power tool in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or
expressly approved by STIHL for use
with the specific STIHL blower model
are authorized. Although certain unau -
thorized attachments are useable with
STIHL power tools, their use may, in
fact, be extremely dangerous.
If this tool is subjected to unusually high
loads for which it was not designed (e.g.
heavy impact or a fall), always check
that it is in good condition before
continuing work. Check in particular that
the fuel system is tight (no leaks) and
that the controls and safety devices are
working properly. Do not continue
operating this machine if it is damaged.
In case of doubt, have it checked by your
STIHL servicing dealer.
Warning!
Small particles (e.g. dust) blown through
the blower tube and nozzle can cause a
static charging of the blower tube. This
is especially true in low humidity and
high dust conditions. In order to reduce
the risk of shock from static charging
and subsequent injury from loss of con -
trol, your blower has features designed
to help reduce the build up of static elec -
tricity in the blower tube and equalize
the charge with the engine and / or
operator.
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.
THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL
Transporting the Power Tool
Warning!
When transporting your power tool in a
vehicle, properly secure it to prevent
turnover, fuel spillage and damage to
the unit.
