Using the Blower
Your blower is designed for one-handed
operation. It must be carried by the
control handle in the right hand.
WARNING
Operate the unit only with a properly
mounted blower tube.
The round nozzle is particularly suitable
for use on uneven surfaces (e.g. fields
and lawns).
The fan nozzle (either included with unit
or available as special accessory)
produces a broad and powerful
airstream at ground level. It can be
aimed and controlled very accurately.
This nozzle is highly effective for blow-
sweeping sawdust, leaves, grass
cuttings, etc. on paved surfaces.
Watch out for small creatures when
blow-sweeping in open areas, yards and
gardens.
In noise-sensitive areas, operate your
unit at the lowest possible engine speed.
If necessary, dampen the surface to be
cleaned in order to avoid creating too
much dust.
Using the Vacuum Shredder
Your vacuum shredder 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. This enables you to quickly
remove the power tool and catcher bag
in an emergency.
WARNING
Operate the unit only with a properly
mounted suction tube and catcher bag.
NOTICE
Vacuuming abrasive material (such as
grit, stone chips, etc.) causes the blower
wheel and blower housing to wear at a
rapid rate. This results in a considerable
loss of suction power. In such a case
you should contact your dealer. STIHL
recommends a STIHL servicing dealer.
Take particular care when vacuuming
wet leaves since they may block the
blower wheel and elbow.
Watch out for small animals when
vacuuming and blow-sweeping in open
areas, yards and gardens.
