WARNING
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous
and can cause severe or fatal injury,
respiratory illness or cancer. The use
and disposal of asbestos-containing
products have been strictly regulated by
OSHA and the Environmental Protection
Agency. If you have any reason to
believe that you might be blowing or
otherwise disturbing asbestos,
immediately contact EPA, 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
concrete products. Repeated and / or
substantial inhalation of airborne
crystalline 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 substance known to cause cancer.
When encountering such materials,
always follow the respiratory
precautions mentioned above.
WARNING
Always switch off the motor before
cleaning or servicing the unit or
replacing parts. The blower fan between
the air intake and output openings
rotates whenever the engine is running.
In order to reduce the risk of injury from
contact with the fan wheel, never
operate your blower without a properly
BGE 61, BGE 71
mounted intake screen and blower tube.
Never insert any foreign object into the
air intake or output openings of the
machine.
Pay attention to the direction of the wind,
i.e., do not work against the wind.
To reduce the risk of stumbling and loss
of control, do not walk backward while
operating the machine.
WARNING
If the motor continues to run even when
the switch has been moved to 0 : Pull the
plug out of the socket and contact a
STIHL dealer. The device is defect.
Using the Vacuum Attachment
