English
chemical spray/dust being applied
cannot be avoided, the operator and any
bystanders may need to wear a
respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA
for the type of chemical encountered.
Consult the label of the chemical product
being used.
WARNING
If you are unfamiliar with the risks
associated with the particular chemical
at issue, review the product label and/or
material safety data sheet for that
substance and/or consult the material
manufacturer/supplier. You may also
consult your employer, governmental
agencies such as the EPA, OSHA and
NIOSH and other sources on hazardous
materials. The state of California and
some other authorities, for instance,
have published lists of substances
known to cause cancer, reproductive
toxicity, etc.
Operating instructions
WARNING
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the engine immediately – move the
setting lever to 0 or STOP.
WARNING
Never spray in the direction of humans,
animals or property which might be
injured or damaged by spray formula.
10
Pay attention to the direction of the wind,
i.e., do not work against the wind. When
spraying, stand so that the wind does
not blow towards you or bystanders.
Keep children and pets away from areas
that have just been sprayed. After the
use of some chemicals, especially
agricultural pesticides, a notice must be
posted on the treated area that a
"Restricted Entry Interval" (REI) is in
effect. See the product's label and any
applicable governmental regulations.
DANGER
Your power tool is not
insulated against electric
shock. To reduce the risk
of electrocution, never
operate this power tool in
the vicinity of any wires or
cables (power, etc.)
which may be carrying
electric current. Do not
spray on or near electri-
cal installations.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not direct air blast towards bystanders,
since the high pressure of the air flow
could injure eyes and could blow small
objects at great speed.
WARNING
The blower fan between the air intake
and output openings rotates whenever
the engine is running.
Never insert any foreign object into the
air intake of the machine or into the
nozzle of the blower. It will damage the
fan wheel and may cause serious injury
to the operator or bystanders as a result
of the object or broken parts being
thrown out at high speed.
Do not place the blower on the ground
when operating at high speed, because
small objects such as sand, grass, dust,
etc. may be pulled into the air intake and
damage the fan wheel.
WARNING
Never modify your muffler. Any
modification could cause an increase in
heat radiation, sparks or sound level,
thereby increasing the risk of fire, burn
injury or hearing loss. You may also
permanently damage the engine. Have
your muffler serviced and repaired by
your STIHL servicing dealer only.
WARNING
The muffler and other parts of the engine
(e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug)
become hot during operation and remain
hot for a while after stopping the engine.
To reduce risk of burns, do not touch the
muffler and other parts while they are
hot. Keep the area around the muffler
clean. Remove excess lubricant and all
debris such as pine needles, branches
or leaves. Let the engine cool down
sitting on concrete, metal, bare ground
or solid wood away from any
combustible substances.
WARNING
An improperly mounted or damaged
cylinder housing or a
damaged/deformed muffler may
interfere with the cooling process of the
muffler. To reduce the risk of fire or burn
injury, do not continue work with a
