Stihl BR 500 Manual De Instrucciones página 5

English / USA
Your STIHL blower is equipped with an
antivibration system (AV). The AV
system is designed to reduce the
transmission of engine vibrations to the
operator's body. An AV system is
recommended for those operators who
use blowers on a regular or sustained
basis.
Keep the AV system well maintained. A
blower with loose components or with
damaged or worn AV buffers will tend to
have higher vibration levels.
!
Warning!
The ignition system of your unit
produces an electromagnetic field of a
very low intensity. This field may
interfere with some pacemakers. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury,
persons with pacemaker should consult
their physician and the pacemaker
manufacturer before operating this tool.

ment.

Warning!
Use of this product can generate dust,
mists, and fumes containing chemicals
known to cause respiratory disease,
cancer, birth defects, or other reproduc-
tive harm. If you are unfamiliar with the
risks associated with the particular dust,
mists or fumes at issue, consult your
employer, governmental agencies such
as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources
on hazardous materials. If the substance
being blown or vacuumed is a commer-
cial substance, review the material
safety data sheet for that substance and
/ or consult the material manufacturer /
supplier. The state of California and
some other authorities, for instance,
have published lists of substances
known to cause cancer, reproductive
toxicity, etc.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the
source where possible. In this regard
use good work practices and follow the
recommendations of OSHA / NIOSH
and occupational and trade associa-
tions. When the inhalation of toxic dust,
mists and fumes cannot be eliminated,
the operator and any bystanders should
always wear a respirator approved by
NIOSH / MSHA for the substance at
issue.
