Warning!
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous
and can cause severe or fatal illness,
respiratory illness or cancer. The use
and disposal of asbestos-containing
products have been strictly regulated by
OSHA and the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency. If you have any reason to
believe that you might be blowing or oth-
erwise disturbing asbestos, immediately
contact your employer or a local OSHA
representative.
Warning!
Dust with silica in its composition may
contain crystalline silica. Silica is a basic
component of sand, quartz, brick, clay,
granite and numerous other minerals
and rocks, including masonry and con-
crete products. Repeated and / or
substantial inhalation of airborne crys-
talline silica can cause serious or fatal
respiratory disease, including silicosis.
In addition, the state of California and
some other authorities have listed
respirable crystalline silica as a sub-
stance known to cause cancer. When
encountering such materials, always
follow the respiratory precautions men-
tioned above.
Operating Instructions
Warning!
In the event of an emergency, switch off

ting lever to 0 or STOP.

Warning!
Even though bystanders should be kept
away from the running power tool, never
work alone. Keep within calling distance
of others in case help is needed.
Stop the engine immediately if you are
approached.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not direct air blast towards bystanders,
since the high pressure of the air flow
can injure eyes and can blow small
objects at great speed.
Warning!
The blower fan between the air intake
and output openings rotates whenever
the engine is running.
Never insert any foreign object into the
air intake of the machine or into the
nozzle of the blower. It will damage the
fan wheel and may cause serious injury
to the operator or bystanders as a result
of the object or broken parts being
thrown out at high speed.
Do not place the blower on the ground
when operating at high speed, because
small objects such as sand, grass, dust,
etc. may be pulled into the air intake and
damage the fan wheel. It is best to turn
the machine off when putting it on the
ground.
Warning!
The muffler and other parts of the
engine (e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark
plug) become hot during operation and
remain hot for a while after stopping the
engine. To reduce risk of burns do not
touch the muffler and other parts while
they are hot.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
keep the area around the muffler clean.
Remove excess lubricant and all debris
such as pine needles, branches or
leaves. Let the engine cool down sitting
on concrete, metal, bare ground or solid
wood (e.g. the trunk of a felled tree)
away from any combustible substances.
Warning!
Never modify your muffler. The muffler
could be damaged and cause an
increase in heat radiation or sparks,
thereby increasing the risk of fire and
burn injury. You may also permanently
damage the engine. Have your muffler
serviced and repaired by your STIHL
servicing dealer only.
