Before starting work

Check the machine

  • Switch/trigger must move easily to STOP or 0
  • The trigger/switch lever must be on STOP or 0.
  • The blower tubes must be properly assembled
  • Handles must be clean and dry, free from oil and dirt, for safe control.
  • Check condition of blower wheel and blower housing – see chapter on “Using the Vacuum Attachment”.

To reduce the risk of accidents and personal injury, do not operate your power tool if it is not properly assembled and in good condition!
Do not operate your power tool if any of its com‐ ponents are damaged or not properly mounted.

**** Risk of injury from contact with rotat‐ ing blower wheel.Risk of injury from contact with rotating blower wheel. Always switch off the motor and dis‐ connect the plug from the power sup‐ ply before removing the intake screen, suction tube, blower tube or elbow. Wait for the blower wheel to come to a complete standstill.

Wear of the blower housing (cracks, nicks, chips) may result in an increased risk of injury from thrown foreign objects. If the blower housing is damaged, consult your dealer – STIHL recom‐ mends you contact a STIHL servicing dealer
Never attempt to modify the controls or safety devices

Electrical connection.

Reduce the risk of electric shock:

  • Voltage and frequency of the machine (see rating plate) and the voltage and frequency of your power supply must be the same.
  • Examine the connecting cord, power plug and extension cord for damage. Damaged cords, couplings and plugs or connecting cords that do not comply with the regulations must not be used
  • Always connect the engine analyzer to a prop‐ erly installed wall outlet.
  • Check that the insulation of the power cord, extension cord, plug and coupling is in good condition
  • Never touch the power plug, power cord and extension cord and electrical plug connections with wet hands. Position the connecting and extension cords cor‐ rectly:
  • Check minimum cross section of wires (wire gauge) – see “Connecting to Power Supply”.
  • To reduce the risk of stumbling, position and mark the connecting cord so that it cannot be damaged or endanger others.
  • Using unsuitable extension cords can be dan‐ gerous. Use only extension cords approved for outdoor use which are labeled as such and have the appropriate wire gauge.
  • The plug and coupling of the extension cord must be water-proof and must never be immersed in water.
  • Do not chafe on edges, pointed or sharp objects
  • don’t trap or squeeze the cord in or under doors or windows
  • If cords are twisted – unplug the power tool and straighten them out
  • always unroll the connecting cord from the cable reel completely to avoid risk of fire due to overheating

Holding and guiding the machine
INSTRUCTION

The blower is designed for one-handed opera‐ tion. It can be carried by the control handle in either the right or left hand. Always hold the power tool firmly in your hand.

WARNING
Operate the machine only with the blower tube completely mounted – risk of injury! The round nozzle is particularly suitable for use on uneven surfaces (e.g. fields and lawns). The flat nozzle (either included with unit or avail‐ able as special accessory) produces a broad and powerful airstream at ground level. It can be aimed and controlled very accurately. This noz‐ zle is highly effective for blow-sweeping sawdust, leaves, grass cuttings, etc. on flat surfaces.

Using the Vacuum Attachment
For specific assembling instructions, see appro‐ priate chapter in this User Manual.
INSTRUCTION

The vacuum attachment is designed for twohanded operation. Hold and operate the unit with your right hand on the control handle and your left hand on the assist handle (union nut). Wear the catcher bag shoulder strap over your right shoulder, not across your chest. This ena‐ bles you to quickly remove the power tool and catcher bag in an emergency.
ICONS

To reduce the risk of injury, operate your power tool only with a properly mounted suction tube and closed catcher bag.

To reduce the risk of personal injury from fire , never attempt to pick up hot or burning substances (e.g. smolder‐ ing ashes, glowing cigarettes).

To reduce the risk of fatal injury from fire or explosion, never attempt to pick up combustible fluids (e.g. gaso line) or materials soaked in combusti‐ ble fluids.

NOTICE
Vacuuming abrasive material (such as grit, stone chips, etc.) causes the impeller wheel and impel‐ ler 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 rec‐ ommends you have this work done by a STIHL servicing dealer

Take particular care when vacuuming wet leaves since they may block the blower wheel and elbow.

To clear a blockage in the machine:

  • Switch off the machine and disconnect the mains plug
  • Remove the elbow and suction tube – see “Assembling the Vacuum Shredder”.
  • Clean the elbow and blower housing.

While working
If the power cord is damaged, imme‐ diately disconnect the plug from the power supply to avoid the risk of elec‐ trocution.

Avoid damage to the power supply cord. Do not drive over it, pinch or tug it.
Never jerk the connecting cord to disconnect it from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
The power cord and power plug must never be touched with wet hands.
In case of imminent danger or in an emergency, move the trigger/switch to STOP or.
Your power tool is designed to be operated by one person only. Do not allow other persons in the work area.
Children, animals and onlookers must remain at a safe distance.

To reduce the risk of injury from thrown objects, do not allow any other persons within 15 meters of your own position.

This distance must also be maintained in relation to objects (vehicles, window panes) – risk of property damage!

Do not direct the air blast towards bystanders or animals – the machine may eject small objects at high speed – risk of injury!.

When blow-sweeping and vacuum shredding (in open ground and gardens), watch out for small animals to avoid harming them.

Never leave a running machine unattended.

Walk slowly forwards as you work – observe the nozzle outlet at all times – do not walk back‐ wards – risk of stumbling.

Keep the connecting cord behind the power tool at all times – do not walk backwards – risk of stumbling.

Hold your power tool in a normal, relaxed work‐ ing position. Make sure you always have a firm and secure footing.

Take care in splippery conditions on slopes and uneven ground.

Watch out for obstacles: Be careful of refuse, tree stumps, roots and ditches which could cause you to trip or stumble

Do not work on a ladder or in unstable locations.

Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing hearing protection because your ability to hear warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is restricted.

Work calmly and carefully – in daylight conditions and only when visibility is good. Proceed with caution, do not put others in danger.

Take breaks when you start getting tired or feel‐ ing fatigue – risk of accidents!

Static electricity may build-up while blow-sweep‐ ing large quantities of very dusty material and suddenly discharge in certain unfavorable condi‐ tions (e.g. very dry work area).

Always wear a dust mask if dust is generated.

Vacuuming unsuitable materials may block the impeller wheel. Switch off the unit immediately and disconnect the plug from the power supply. Then clear the blockage.

Never attempt to insert objects into the impeller housing through the intake screen or the nozzle. They may be expelled at very high speed by the blower – risk of injury.

If there is a noticeable change in running behav‐ ior (e.g. higher vibrations), stop work and rectify the cause of the problem.

If your power tool is subjected to unusual stress for which it was not designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall), always check that it is in good conditionbefore continuing work – see also “Before Start‐ ing Work”. Make sure the safety devices are working properly. Do not continue operating the machine if it is damaged. In case of doubt, con‐tact a dealer.

If the machine continues to run (does not switchoff) after the trigger switch is released, discon‐ nect the plug from the wall outlet and consult your STIHL servicing dealer. The machine has a malfunction.

Before leaving the power tool unattended: Switchit off and disconnect the plug from the power supply.

After finishing work
Disconnect the mains plug from the power sup‐ ply. Never jerk the connecting cord to disconnect it from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord. Always clean dust and dirt off the power tool. Do not use any grease solvents for this purpose.

Vibrations
Prolonged use of the power tool may result in vibration-induced circulation problems in the hands (whitefinger disease). No general recommendation can be given for the length of usage because it depends on several factors.

The period of usage is prolonged by:

  • Hand protection (wearing warm gloves)
  • Work breaks

The period of usage is shortened by:

  • Any personal tendency to suffer from poor cir‐ culation (symptoms: frequently cold fingers, tingling sensations).
  • Low outside temperatures.
  • The force with which the handles are held (a tight grip restricts circulation)

Maintenance and repairs

WARNING

Before starting any work on the machine: Always disconnect the machine from the mains power sup‐ ply.

  • Use only high-quality spare parts. Otherwise, there may be a risk of accidents and damage to the unit. If you have any questions in this respect, consult a servicing dealer.
  • To avoid risks, work on the machine (e. g. replacing a damaged power cord) may only be carried out by authorized dealers or qualified electricians.

Clean plastic parts with a cloth. Harsh detergents can damage the plastic. Clean ventilation slots in motor housing as nee‐ ded. The machine must be serviced regularly.
