Your blower is designed for one-handed
operation. It can be carried by the
control handle in either the right or left
hand.
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, etc. on flat surfaces.
Watch out for small animals when
using the blower on open ground, in
yards and gardens.

Your vacuum shredder 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 shoulder strap* for the catcher
bag* over your left shoulder – not across
your chest.
The large diameter suction tube*
enables the unit to pick up all kinds of
trash, such as large leaves, cardboard
and pieces of bark.
* see “Guide to Using this Manual”
Vacuuming abrasive material (such
as grit, stone chips, etc.) causes the
fanwheel and fan housing to wear at
a rapid rate. This results in a
considerable loss of suction power.
In such a case you should contact
your STIHL dealer.
Take particular care when
vacuuming wet leaves since they
may block the fan.
Watch out for small animals when
vacuuming and blowing in open
areas and gardens. To help avoid
the risk of injuring animals, do not
run the unit at high engine speed.
