English
Empty the hopper after every use.
Before emptying the hopper: Switch off
the machine.
Wear sturdy work gloves when emptying
the hopper to reduce the risk of injury
from broken glass, metal or other sharp
materials.
Empty the hopper outdoors if possible.
Working Technique
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Your power tool is designed to be
operated by one person only. Do not
allow other persons in the work area.
Always hold the push handle firmly with
both hands.
Push the power tool forwards and adjust
speed to suit conditions.

Depress the push handle slightly to
travel over small humps up to about 2 to
3 cm.
If cleaning performance deteriorates,
check the side brooms and roller brush
for blockages or wear.
Debris level in hopper
The hopper is full if dust and dirt begins
to emerge sideways while you are
sweeping.
To continue working for a brief period, lift
the sweeper up at the front so that dirt
falls to the back of the hopper. This
helps make better use of the hopper's
full capacity.
When sweeping heavy material, e.g.
grit, loose chippings, the sweeper's
center of gravity shifts to the rear. This
tends to lift the side brooms away from
the surface and reduce cleaning
efficiency.
Maintenance and Repairs
Always switch off the machine – position
0 – and remove the battery before
carrying out any repairs or maintenance
work. This avoids the risk of the motor
starting unintentionally.
Service the machine regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in the instruction manual.
Have all other work performed by a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend
training courses and are supplied with
the necessary technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts
in order to avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the unit. If you have any
questions in this respect, consult a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
Never attempt to modify your power tool
in any way since this will increase the
risk of personal injury.
Regularly check the electrical contacts
and ensure that the insulation of the
connecting cord and plug of the charger
is in good condition and shows no sign
of ageing (brittleness).
Electrical components, e.g. connecting
cord of charger, may only be repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Keep the battery guides free from
foreign matter – clean as necessary.
Wear sturdy work gloves to reduce the
risk of cut injuries from sharp objects
when replacing the side brooms or roller
brush.
