manual abstract
Select bare ground for fueling and move at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling spot before starting the engine. Avoid spilling of fuel or oil. Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting your blower and check for leakage. Always tighten fuel filler cap securely after fueling. ! Warning! Check for fuel leakage while refueling and during operation. If fuel or oil leakage is found, do not start or run the engine until leak is fixed and spilled fuel has been wiped away. Take care not to get fuel on your clothing. If this happens, change your clothing immediately. Always store gasoline in a container approved for flammable liquids. ! Warning! Unit vibrations can cause an improperly tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off and spill quantities of fuel. In order to reduce risk of fuel spillage and fire, tighten fuel cap by hand with as much force as possible. Before Starting ! Warning! Never operate your machine if it is damaged, improperly adjusted or not completely and securely assembled. You should always inspect your unit before starting it. Make sure the unit is properly assembled, in good operating condition and the controls and safety devices are working properly. ! Warning! To reduce the risk of injury from thrown parts, check your fanwheel and fan housing for damage (cracks, nicks, chipping). If any damage is found, stop using the unit and contact your STIHL dealer for repair. : Throttle trigger must move freely and spring back to idle position when released. : Stop switch must move easily to $ : Tightness of spark plug boot - if boot is loose, sparks may occur and ignite the escaping fuel vapor! Starting ! Warning! Your blower 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 ( 15m) away during use. Stop the engine immediately if you are approached. For specific starting instructions, see the appropriate section of your owner`s manual. Place the machine on firm ground or other solid surface in an open area. Maintain good balance and secure footing. BG 46 english / USA ! Warning! When you pull the starter grip, don`t wrap the starter rope around your hand. Do not allow the grip to snap back, but guide the starter rope slowly back to permit the rope to rewind properly. Failure to follow this procedure may result in injury to hand or fingers and may damage the starter mechanism. Catalytic converter ! Warning! Some STIHL blower models are equipped with a catalytic converter, which is designed to reduce the exhaust emissions of the engine by a chemical process in the muffler. Due to this process, the muffler does not cool down as rapidly as conventional mufflers when the engine returns to idle or is shut off. To reduce the risk of fire and burn injuries, specific safety precautions must be observed. ! Warning! Since a muffler with a catalytic converter cools down less rapidly than conventional mufflers, never set your blower down on or near dry brush, grass, wood chips or other combustible materials while it is still hot. 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! To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury, let the unit cool down before refueling your blower after use. ! Warning! Never disassemble or modify your muffler. The muffler could be damaged and cause an increase in heat radiation or sparks, thereby increasing the risk of fire or burn injury. You may also permanently damage the engine. Have your muffler serviced and repaired by your STIHL Servicing Dealer only. ! Warning! To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury, keep the area around the muffler clean. Remove all debris such as pine needles, branches or leaves. ! Warning! An improperly mounted or damaged cylinder housing or a damaged/ deformed muffler shell may interfere with the cooling effect of the catalytic converter. To reduce the risk of fire or burn injury, do not continue work with a damaged or improperly mounted cylinder housing or a damaged/ deformed muffler shell. Your catalytic converter is furnished with screens designed to reduce the risk of fire from the emission of hot particles. Due to the heat from the catalytic reaction, these screens will normally stay clean and need no service or maintenance. If you experience loss of performance and you suspect a clogged screen, have your muffler maintained by a STIHL Servicing Dealer. BG 46 english / USA Working instructions Work carefully. Operate the blower under good visibility and daylight conditions only. ! Warning! Your blower produces poisonous exhaust fumes as soon as the combustible engine is running. These gases ( e.g. carbon monoxide) may be colorless and odorless. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from breathing toxic fumes, never start or run the blower indoors or in poorly ventilated locations. Ensure proper ventilation when working in trenches or other confined areas. Keep...
