Warning!
Your blower is a one-person machine.
To reduce the risk of eye or other injury
from thrown objects, insure that by-
standers are at least 50 feet (15 m)
away during use.
Stop the operation immediately if you
are approached.
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your owner`s
manual. Place the machine on firm
ground or other solid surface in an open
area. Maintain good balance and secure
footing.
!
Warning!
When you pull the starter grip, don`t
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not allow the grip to snap back, but
guide the starter rope slowly back to
permit the rope to rewind properly.

Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injury to hand or fingers and
may damage the starter mechanism.
The assistance of another person may
be needed in placing the unit on your
back after starting. In order to reduce the
risk of injury to the assistant from thrown
objects or from contact with fumes, the
engine should be kept at idle speed
during this brief period, and your
assistant should not stand in the area of
the outlet nozzle or exhaust. Otherwise,
the unit should be started and operated
without assistance.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury,
let the unit cool down before refueling
your blower after use.
!
Warning!
Never disassemble or modify your
muffler. The muffler could be damaged
and cause an increase in heat radiation
or sparks, thereby increasing the risk of
fire or burn injury. You may also
permanently damage the engine. Have
your muffler serviced and repaired by
your STIHL Servicing Dealer only.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury,
keep the area around the muffler clean.
Remove all debris such as pine needles,
branches or leaves.
!
Warning!
An improperly mounted or damaged
cylinder housing or a damaged/
deformed muffler shell may interfere
with the cooling effect of the muffler. To
reduce the risk of fire or burn injury, do
not continue work with a damaged or
improperly mounted cylinder housing or
a damaged/deformed muffler shell.
