Allow only persons who fully understand
this manual to operate your blower.
To receive maximum performance and
satisfaction from your STIHL blower, it is
important that you read and understand
and follow the maintenance and safety
precautions in chapter "Safety
Precautions and Working Techniques"
before using your blower. For further
information you can go to
www.stihlusa.com.
Contact your STIHL dealer or the STIHL
distributor for your area if you do not
understand any of the instructions in this
manual.
Warning!
Because a blower is a high-speed tool,
some special safety precautions must
be observed as with any other power
tool to reduce the risk of personal injury.
Careless or improper use may cause
serious or even fatal injury. STIHL's
philosophy is to continually improve all
of its products. As a result, engineering
changes and improvements may be
made from time-to-time. If the operating
characteristics or the appearance of
your blower differs from those described
in this manual, please contact your
STIHL dealer for information and
assistance.
