Stihl SE 62 Instruction Manual page 6

English
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your vacuum cleaner.
Observe all applicable local safety
regulations, standards and ordinances.
Use your vacuum cleaner for vacuuming
of dry, non-flammable materials (dust,
dirt, broken glass, wood or metal
shavings, sand, etc.) and non-
flammable liquids (dirty water, spilled
juices, etc.)
The vacuum cleaner is suitable for more
demanding commercial or industrial
use, as e.g., in hotels, schools,
hospitals, factories, shops, offices and
stores.
WARNING
Do not use the vacuum cleaner for other
purposes, since misuse may result in
personal injury or property damage,
including damage to the vacuum
cleaner. The vacuum cleaner must not
be modified in any way – this may also
lead to accidents or damage to the
vacuum cleaner.
WARNING
Minors should never be allowed to use
this vacuum cleaner. Bystanders,
especially children, and animals should
not be allowed in the area where it is in
use.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders
and damage to property, never let your
vacuum cleaner run unattended. When it
is not in use (e.g. during a work break),
shut it off and disconnect it from the
power supply and make sure that
unauthorized persons do not use it.

Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
vacuum cleaners. Different models may
have different parts and controls. See
the appropriate section of your
instruction manual for a description of
the controls and the function of the parts
of your model.
Safe use of a vacuum cleaner involves
1. the operator
2. the vacuum cleaner
3. the use of the vacuum cleaner
THE OPERATOR
Physical Condition
You must be in good physical condition
and mental health and not under the
influence of any substance (drugs,
alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision,
dexterity or judgment. Do not operate
this vacuum cleaner when you are
fatigued.
WARNING
Be alert – if you get tired, take a break.
Tiredness may result in loss of control.
Working with any vacuum cleaner can
be strenuous. If you have any condition
that might be aggravated by strenuous
work, check with your doctor before
operating this vacuum cleaner.
THE VACUUM CLEANER
For illustrations and definitions of the
vacuum cleaner parts see the chapter
on "Main Parts and Controls."
WARNING
Never modify the vacuum cleaner in any
way. Only attachments supplied by
STIHL or expressly approved by STIHL
for use with the specific STIHL model
are authorized. Although certain
unauthorized attachments are useable
with STIHL vacuum cleaners, their use
may, in fact, be extremely dangerous.
If this unit 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. Check in particular that
the controls and safety devices are
working properly.
WARNING
Never operate your vacuum cleaner if it
is damaged or not completely and
securely assembled. In case of doubt,
have it checked by your STIHL servicing
dealer.
The vacuum cleaner may only be used
when all parts are in proper working
order.
Ensure that the filter element is always
in place and undamaged.
Do not use with a damaged or missing
filter element.
The machine may only be operated in an
upright position. Do not cover the
machine and ensure adequate motor
ventilation.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of short-circuiting,
never spray the upper part of the
vacuum cleaner with water.
