– Check your blower before starting work. Pay

special attention to the muffler, air intakes and

air filter.

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:

– Keeping your hands warm

– Work breaks

The period of usage is shortened by:

– Any personal tendency to suffer from poor cir‐

culation (symptoms: frequently cold fingers,

itching).

– Low outside temperatures.

– Gripping force (a tight grip hinders 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

Service the machine regularly. Do not attempt

any maintenance or repair work not described in

the instruction manual. Have all other work per‐

formed by a servicing dealer.

STIHL recommends that you have servicing and

repair work carried out exclusively by an author‐

ized 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. They are specifically

designed to match your model and meet your

performance requirements.

To reduce the risk of injury, always shut off the

engine before carrying out any maintenance or

repairs or cleaning the machine. – Exception:

Carburetor and idle speed adjustments.

Do not turn the engine over on the starter with

the spark plug boot or spark plug removed since

there is otherwise a risk of fire from uncontained

sparking.

Do not service or store your machine near open

flames.

Check the fuel filler cap for leaks at regular inter‐

vals.

Use only a spark plug of the type approved by

STIHL and make sure it is in good condition –

see "Specifications".

Inspect the ignition lead (insulation in good con‐

dition, secure connection).

Check the condition of the muffler.

To reduce the risk of fire and damage to hearing,

do not operate your machine if the muffler is

damaged or missing.

Do not touch a hot muffler since burn injury will

result.

Vibration behavior is influenced by the condition

of the AV elements – check the AV elements at

regular intervals.

Shut off the engine before rectifying problems.
