Once the engine has started,
immediately blip the throttle trigger,
which should cause the choke knob to
move to the run position and allow the
engine to slow down to idle.
Warning!
Warning!
Check that the spark plug boot is
securely mounted on the spark plug – a
loose boot may cause arcing that could
ignite combustible fumes and cause a
fire.
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. To reduce the risk of eye or
other injury from thrown objects, insure
that bystanders are at least 50 feet
(15 m) away during use. Stop operation
immediately if you are approached.
During Operation
Holding and Controlling the Power
Tool
Keep the handles clean and dry at all
times; it is particularly important to keep
them free of moisture, pitch, oil, fuel mix,
grease or resin in order for you to
maintain a firm grip and properly control
your power tool.
Warning!
This unit is equipped with an ignition
system that is normally in operational
readiness. After the setting lever is used
to stop the engine, it automatically
springs back to the "on" position. If the
engine is warm, it may be possible to
start it by simply pulling the starter rope,
with no further adjustments. To reduce
the risk of injury, be particularly alert to
keep children away from the unit.
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from parts
thrown by the fan wheel, check the fan
housing for damage (cracks or holes
that could allow foreign objects to con-
tact the fan wheel). If any such damage
is found, stop using the unit and contact
your STIHL dealer for repair.
The blower is designed for single-
handed operation with the right hand on
the control handle. It should be carried
as a backpack with the straps of the
harness over both shoulders.
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your manual.
Place the power tool on firm ground or
other solid surface in an open area.
Maintain good balance and secure
footing.
Warning!
Warning!
Adjust carrying harness to suit your size
before starting work.
To reduce the risk of loss of control,
never carry the unit with the strap(s)
over one shoulder.
In an emergency, you may slip out of the
harness and throw off the machine
quickly. Try slipping out of the harness a
number of times before using the
machine in order to become
accustomed to it. Do not throw off the
machine while practicing as it could
damage the machine.
Warning!
Wrap your fingers tightly around the
handle, keeping the control handle
cradled between your thumb and
forefinger. Keep your hand in this
position to have your machine under
control at all times.
When you pull the starter grip, do not
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not let the grip snap back, but guide
the starter rope to rewind it properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injury to your hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
Starting
To reduce the risk of fire and burn
injuries, start the engine at least 10 feet
(3
m) from the fueling spot, outdoors
only.
