WARNING

Be particularly alert and cautious when 

wearing hearing protection because 

your ability to hear warnings (shouts, 

alarms, etc.) is restricted.

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 model are 

authorized. Although certain 

unauthorized 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

Never operate your machine if it is 

damaged or not completely and securely 

assembled.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not 

operate your blower unless it has a 

properly mounted blower tube.

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 control, 

your blower has features designed to 

help reduce the build up of static 

electricity 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.

Fuel
Your STIHL power tool uses an oil- 

gasoline mixture for fuel (see the 

chapter on "Fuel" of your instruction 

manual).

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 complying 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. 

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.
