10.1 Holding and Guiding the
Blower
0000-GXX-B538-A0
► Hold the blower firmly with your right hand on
the control handle – wrap your thumb around
the handle.
► If a deluxe carrying system or support cushion
is used, attach the blower to it and manually
guide the blower using the handle.
10.2 Setting the performance level
Depending on the application, 3 power levels
can be set. The LEDs indicate the selected
power level. The higher the power lever, the
higher the volume of air that flows from the noz‐
zle.
The selected power level affects the battery’s
runtime. The lower the power level, the longer
the runtime.

17.2 Noise and Vibration Data
K-value (uncertainty) for sound pressure levels is
2 dB(A). K-value (uncertainty) for sound power
levels is 2 dB(A). K-value (uncertainty) for vibra‐
tion levels is 2 m/s².
STIHL recommends that you wear hearing pro‐
tection.
–Sound pressure level LpA measured according
to EN 50636‑2‑100: 80 dB(A)
–Sound power level LwA measured according to
EN 50636-2-100: 91 dB(A)
–Vibration level ahv measured according to
EN 50636-2-100, control handle: 0.7 m/s²
The vibration values quoted above have been
measured according to a standardized test pro‐
cedure and may be used to compare electric
power tools. Depending on the type of usage,
the vibrations that actually occur may differ from
the values quoted. The vibration values quoted
may be used for an initial assessment of the
user's exposure to vibrations. The actual expo‐
sure to vibrations has to be estimated. This proc‐
ess may also take into account times during
which the electric power tool is switched off and
times during which it is switched on but running
off load.
