Avoid any clothing, scarves, neckties, jewellery or anything that could get into the air intake. Tie up and confine long hair (e.g. with a hair net, cap, hard hat, etc.).

Wear sturdy shoes with non-slip soles.

Wear safety glasses and hearing protection, e.g. earplugs or ear muffs.

STIHL offers a comprehensive range of personal protective clothing and equipment.

Before Starting Work

Inspect the power tool.

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.

• Switch/trigger must move easily to STOP or 0
• The switch/trigger 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 impeller wheel and impeller housing – see chapter on "Using the Vacuum Shredder".

A worn impeller housing (cracks, nicks, chips) may result in an increased risk of injury from thrown foreign objects. If the impeller housing is damaged, consult your dealer – STIHL recommends you contact a STIHL servicing dealer.

Never attempt to modify the controls or the safety devices in any way.

Electrical connection.

Reduce the risk of electric shock:

English

• Voltage and frequency of the machine (see rating plate) and the voltage and frequency of your power supply must be the same.
• Check the connecting cord, plug and extension cord for damage. Never use damaged cords, couplings and plugs or connecting cords that do not comply with regulations.
• Always connect the power tool to a properly installed wall outlet.
• Check that the insulation of the power cord, extension cord, plug and coupling is in good condition.

Position the connecting and extension cords correctly:

• 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.
• The extension cord's plug and coupling must be splash-proof or positioned in such a way that they do not come into contact with water
• do not immerse in water.
• Do not chafe on edges, pointed or sharp objects
• Do not squeeze through gaps in doors or windows
• If cords are twisted – unplug the power tool and straighten them out
• Always unwind the extension cord completely from the cable drum to reduce the risk of fire from overheating.

Using the Blower

Line drawing of a person using a handheld tool on a tiled floor, with ECG waveform in the background (no text or symbols)

Your blower is designed for one-handed operation. It can be carried by the control handle in either the right or left hand.

Always hold the power tool firmly in your hand.

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

To reduce the risk of injury, 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 power tool 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 flat surfaces.

Using the Vacuum Attachment

For specific assembling instructions, see appropriate chapter in this manual.

Line drawing of a person using a long-handled tool to clean grass, wearing protective gear (no text or symbols)

Your vacuum shredder is designed for two-handed operation. Hold and operate the power tool 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 enables you to quickly remove the power tool and catcher bag in an emergency.

Warning symbol and hazard symbol for a device, including warning triangle, cross, and bullet icon

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

Vacuuming abrasive material (such as grit, stone chips, etc.) causes the impeller wheel and impeller 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 impeller wheel and elbow.

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

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

Switch off the engine before opening the intake screen. The intake screen must always be closed and secured when the suction tube is not mounted to reduce the risk of injury from contact with rotating components. This can also result in damage to the engine.

During Operation

If the power cord is damaged, immediately disconnect the plug from the power supply to avoid the risk of electrocution.

Avoid damage to the power supply cord. Do not drive over it, pinch or tug it.

Never jerk the power cord to disconnect it from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

Be sure your hands are dry before touching the plug or power cord.

Never spray down electric appliances with water – risk of short circuit!

In case of imminent danger or in an emergency, move the trigger/switch to STOP or 0.

Your power tool is designed to be operated by one person only. Do not allow other persons in the work area.

To reduce the risk of injury from thrown objects, do not allow any other persons within a radius of 5 meters of your own position.

To reduce the risk of damage to property, also maintain this distance from other objects (vehicles, windows).

Do not direct the air blast towards bystanders or animals since the air flow can blow small objects at great speed.

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.

Do not leave the machine outdoors in the rain.

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.

Never work on a ladder or any other insecure support.

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. Stay alert so as not to endanger others.

English

To reduce the risk of accidents, take a break in good time to avoid tiredness or exhaustion.

Never work with the power tool in the rain or in wet or very damp locations.

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

If dust levels are very high, always wear a suitable respirator.

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 impeller – risk of injury.

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

If your power 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 – see also "Before Starting Work". Make sure the safety devices are working properly. Do not continue operating your power tool if it is damaged. In case of doubt, have the machine checked by your servicing dealer.

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

After Finishing Work

Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet.

Never jerk the power 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 circulation (symptoms: frequently cold fingers, tingling sensations).
– Low outside temperatures.
- The force with which the handles are held (a tight grip restricts circulation).

Continual and regular users should monitor closely the condition of their hands and fingers. If any of the above symptoms appear (e.g. tingling sensation in fingers), seek medical advice.

Maintenance and Repairs

Before carrying out any work on the power tool: Disconnect the plug from the power supply.

Service the machine regularly. Do not attempt any maintenance or repair work not described in the instruction manual. Have all other work performed by a servicing dealer.

STIHL recommends that you have servicing and repair work carried out exclusively by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are regularly given the opportunity to attend training courses and are supplied with the necessary technical information.

Only use high-quality replacement parts in order to avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine. If you have any questions in this respect, consult a servicing dealer.

STIHL recommends the use of genuine STIHL replacement parts. These parts are specifically designed to match your machine model and meet your performance requirements.

To reduce the risk of serious injury, have repairs to the unit (e.g. replacing the power supply cord) performed by an authorized electrician.
