Cleaning The Air Filter - Stihl BG 45 Instruction Manual

Working techniques
To minimize blowing time, use rakes and
brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
Recommended working techniques to
minimize airborne debris and pollution:
:
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen
surfaces.
:
Use the full blower nozzle extension
so the air stream can work close to
the ground.
: Do not direct debris at subjects
such as open windows or freshly-
washed cars.
:
After using blowers, clean up. Do
not blow debris onto neighbouring
properties.

Recommended working techniques to
minimize noise:
:
Operate power equipment only at
reasonable hours - not early in the
morning, late at night or during the
noon-break when people might be
disturbed. Comply with times listed
in local ordinances. Usual
recommendations are 9:00 a.m. to
12:00 a.m. and 03:00 p.m. to 5:00
p.m. on workdays for professionals.
Special considerations should be
given to neighbours on weekends.
:
Fewer engines mean less noise;
therefore use only one piece of
power equipment at a time, when
possible.
:
Operate power blowers at the
lowest possible throttle speed to do
the job.
: Check your equipment before
operation, especially the muffler, air
intakes and air filters.
Conserve water by using power blowers
instead of hoses for those lawn and
garden applications where a blower can
be properly used, such as cleaning
patios or porches.
