Using The Unit - Stihl BGE 61 Manual De Instrucciones

Using the Unit

Using the Blower
Your blower is designed for one-handed
operation. It can be carried by the
control handle in either the right or left
hand.
To reduce the risk of injury,
operate the unit only with a
properly mounted blower tube.
The round nozzle is particularly suitable
for use on uneven surfaces (e.g. fields
and lawns).
The fan nozzle produces a broad and
powerful airstream at ground level. It can
be aimed and controlled very accurately.
This nozzle is highly effective for blow-
sweeping sawdust, leaves, grass
cuttings and similar materials from
paved surfaces.
Watch out for small animals when blow-
sweeping in open areas, yards and
gardens.

Using the Vacuum Attachment
BGE 71 only
The vacuum attachment is designed for
two-handed operation. Hold and operate
the unit with your right hand on the
control handle and your left hand on the
assist handle.
Wear the catcher bag shoulder strap
over your right shoulder, not across your
chest. This enables you to quickly
remove the power tool and catcher bag
in an emergency.
To reduce the risk of injury,
operate the unit only with a
properly mounted suction tube
and catcher bag.
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 in open areas, yards and
gardens.
