(i.e., not too rich), this screen will 

normally stay clean as a result of the 

heat from the muffler and need no 

service or maintenance. If you 

experience loss of performance and you 

suspect a clogged screen, have your 

muffler maintained by a STIHL servicing 

dealer. Some state or federal laws or 

regulations may require a properly 

maintained spark arrestor for certain 

uses. See the "Maintenance, Repair and 

Storing" section of these Safety 

Precautions. Remember that the risk of 

a brush or forest fire is greater in hot or 

dry conditions.

WARNING

Using the Vacuum Attachment
(only BG 56, BG 86, SH 56, SH 86)

For specific assembling instructions, 

see the appropriate section of your 

instructions manual. Do not use this 

appliance in vacuum mode without the 

catcher bag.

The vacuum attachment is designed for 

two-handed operation. Hold and operate 

the unit with your right hand on the 

control handle and your left hand on the 

assist handle.
Wear the catcher bag shoulder strap 

over your left shoulder – not across your 

chest – so that you can quickly throw off 

the unit and catcher bag in an 

emergency.

WARNING

WARNING

WARNING

Some STIHL power tools 

are equipped with a cata-

lytic converter, which is 

designed to reduce the 

exhaust emissions of the 

engine by a chemical 

process in the muffler. 

Due to this process, the 

muffler does not cool 

down as rapidly as con-

ventional mufflers when 

the engine returns to idle 

or is shut off. To reduce 

the risk of fire and burn 

injuries when using a cat-

alytic converter, always 

set your power tool down 

in the upright position and 

never locate it where the 

muffler is near dry brush, 

grass, wood chips or 

other combustible materi-

als while it is still hot.

To reduce the risk 

of injury, do not 

operate the 

machine unless it 

is fully assembled 

with a properly 

mounted suction 

tube and catcher 

bag.

In order to reduce the risk 

of injury from contact with 

rotating parts and dam-

age to the engine, the 

intake screen must 

always be closed and the 

locking tab engaged 

when the suction tube is 

not mounted. Stop 

engine and wait until the 

fan is stopped before 

opening the intake 

screen.

To reduce the risk of per-

sonal injury from fire and 

explosion, never attempt 

to vacuum hot or burning 

substances (e.g. smol-

dering ashes, glowing 

cigarettes) or combusti-

ble fluids (e.g. gasoline, 

paint thinners).
