Engineering improvements
STIHL's philosophy is to continually
improve all of its products. For this
reason we may modify the design,
engineering and appearance of our
products periodically.
Therefore, some changes, modifications
and improvements may not be covered
in this manual.
Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because the chain of a
concrete cutter runs at
very high speeds, spe-
cial safety precautions
must be observed to
reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury.
It is important that you
carefully read the entire
Instruction Manual before
using the machine for the
first time and keep it in a
safe place for future ref-
erence. Non-compliance
with the Instruction Man-
ual may cause serious or
even fatal injury.
Observe the national safety regulations
issued, e. g. by the employers' liability
insurance association, social security
institutions, occupational safety and
health authorities or other organizations.
If you have never used a power tool
before: Ask the salesperson or another
expert to explain how to use it safely – or
attend a training course.
Minors should never be allowed to use
the machine – except for young trainees
over the age of 16 when working under
supervision.
Children, animals and bystanders must
remain at a distance.
