Working Technique - Stihl BG 56 Instruction Manual

NOTICE
Vacuuming abrasive material (such as
grit, stone chips, etc.) causes the blower
wheel and blower 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
blower wheel and elbow.
Watch out for small animals when
vacuuming and blow-sweeping in open
areas, yards and gardens.

Working Technique

To minimize blowing time, use a rake
and broom to loosen dirt particles before
you start blowing.
Recommended working technique to
minimize air pollution:
If conditions are very dusty, dampen
N
surfaces slightly before blowing.
Pull out the nozzle to full length so
N
that the airstream is at ground level.
Do not blow particles in the direction
N
of bystanders, in particular in the
direction of children, pets, open
windows or freshly washed
vehicles. Take special care in such
situations.
Remove the blow-swept debris in
N
rubbish bins – do not blow it onto the
neighbor's land.
Recommended working technique to
minimize noise:
Operate your power tool at
N
reasonable times only – not early in
the morning, late at night or during
midday rest periods when people
could be disturbed. Observe local
rest periods. Normal
recommendation for professional
use on weekdays: 9:00hrs to
12:00hrs and 15:00hrs to 17:00hrs.
Be considerate of neighbors at
weekends.
Fewer engines mean less noise.
N
Where possible, do not run more
than one power tool at any time.
Operate blowers at the lowest
N
engine speed necessary to
accomplish the task.
Check your blower before starting
N
work. Pay special attention to the
muffler, air intakes and air filter.
Save water by using a blower instead of
a water hose for lawn and garden work
wherever possible, e.g. for cleaning
yards and patios.
