be aimed and controlled very accurately.
This nozzle is highly effective for blow-
sweeping sawdust, leaves, grass
cuttings, etc. on flat surfaces.
Using the Vacuum Attachment
For specific assembling instructions,
see appropriate chapter in this manual.
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 catcher bag shoulder strap
over your left shoulder, not across your
chest. This enables you to quickly
remove the power tool and catcher bag
in an emergency.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, operate your
power tool only with a properly mounted
suction tube and closed catcher bag.
NOTICE
Vacuuming abrasive material (such as
grit, stone chips, etc.) causes the blower
wheel and blower 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 an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
Take particular care when vacuuming
wet leaves since they may block the
blower wheel and elbow.
Watch out for small animals when using
the vacuum on open ground, in yards
and gardens.
To reduce the risk of per -
sonal 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 explo -
sion, never attempt to
pick up combustible fluids
(e.g. gasoline) or materi -
als soaked in
combustible 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 con -
tact with rotating
components. This
can also result in
damage to the
engine.
