Stihl BGE 61 Gebrauchsanleitung Seite 27

To reduce the risk of injury, operate
your power tool only with a properly
mounted suction tube and closed
catcher bag.
Vacuuming abrasive material
(such as grit, stone chips, etc.)
causes the impeller wheel and
impeller housing to wear at a rapid
rate. This results in a considerable
loss of suction power. In such a
case you should contact your
dealer. STIHL recommends a
STIHL servicing dealer.
Take particular care when
vacuuming wet leaves since they
may block the impeller wheel and
elbow.
To reduce the risk of
personal injury from
fire, never attempt to pick
up hot or burning sub-
stances (e.g. smoldering
ashes, glowing
cigarettes).
To reduce the risk of
fatal injury from fire or
explosion, never attempt
to pick up combustible
fluids (e.g. gasoline) or
materials soaked in com-
bustible fluids.

Switch off the engine
before opening the intake
screen. The intake
screen must always be
closed and secured when
the suction tube is not
mounted to reduce the
risk of injury from contact
with rotating components.
This can also result in
damage to the engine.
During Operation
If the power cord is dam-
aged, immediately
disconnect the plug from
the power supply to avoid
the risk of
electrocution.
Avoid damage to the power supply cord.
Do not drive over it, pinch or tug it.
Never jerk the power cord to disconnect
it from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp
the plug, not the cord.
Be sure your hands are dry before
touching the plug or power cord.
Never spray down electric appliances
with water – risk of short circuit!
In case of imminent danger or in an
emergency, move the trigger/switch to
STOP or 0 .
Your power tool is designed to be
operated by one person only. Do not
allow other persons in the work area.
To reduce the
risk of injury from
thrown objects, do
not allow any other
persons within a
radius of 5 meters
of your own
position.
To reduce the risk of damage to
property, also maintain this distance
from other objects (vehicles, windows).
Do not direct the air blast towards
bystanders or animals since the air
flow can blow small objects at great
speed.
When blow-sweeping and vacuum
shredding (in open ground and
gardens), watch out for small animals to
avoid harming them.
Never leave a running machine
unattended.
Do not leave the machine outdoors in
the rain.
Take care in splippery conditions on
slopes and uneven ground.
Watch out for obstacles: Be careful of
refuse, tree stumps, roots and ditches
which could cause you to trip or stumble.
Never work on a ladder or any other
insecure support.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Stay alert so as not to endanger
others.
