Working Technique - Stihl BG 55 Manual De Instrucciones

If necessary, dampen the surface to be
cleaned in order to avoid creating too
much dust.
Using the Vacuum Shredder
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.
Operate the unit only with a properly
mounted suction tube and catcher bag.

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 a 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
vacuuming and blow-sweeping in open
areas, yards and gardens.

Working Technique

To minimize blowing time, use a rake
and broom to loosen dirt particles before
you start blowing.
Recommended working technique to
minimize air pollution:
If conditions are very dusty, dampen
N
surfaces slightly before blowing.
Pull out the nozzle to full length so
N
that the airstream is at ground level.
Do not blow particles in the direction
N
of bystanders, in particular in the
direction of children, pets, open
windows or freshly washed
vehicles. Take special care in such
situations.
Remove the blow-swept debris in
N
rubbish bins – do not blow it onto the
neighbor's land.
Recommended working technique to
minimize noise:
Operate your power tool at
N
reasonable times only – not early in
the morning, late at night or during
midday rest periods when people
could be disturbed. Observe local
rest periods. Normal
recommendation for professional
use on weekdays: 9:00hrs to
12:00hrs and 15:00hrs to 17:00hrs.
Be considerate of neighbors at
weekends.
Fewer engines mean less noise.
N
Where possible, do not run more
than one power tool at any time.
