Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Special safety precau-
tions must be taken when
working with a cut-off
machine, due to the very
high rotational speed of
the cutting wheel.
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-observance
of the following safety
precautions may cause
serious or even fatal
injury.
Observe the national safety regulations
issued, for example, 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: have your STIHL dealer or other
specialist show you how to operate the
machine – or attend one of the special
training courses.
Minors should never be allowed to use
the machine – except for young trainees
over the age of 16 when working under
supervision.
Keep children, animals and bystanders
well away from the machine.
When not using the machine, it must be
laid down in such a way that it does not
endanger anyone. Ensure that the
machine cannot be used without
authorization.
The user is responsible for accidents or
risks involving third parties or their
property.
The machine should only be provided or
loaned to people familiar with this model
and its operation. The instruction
manual should always be handed over
with the machine.
Use of machines that emit noise may be
restricted in terms of time by national
and/or on-site, local regulations.
The machine may only be operated by
people who are fit, in good physical
health and in good mental condition.
If you have any condition that might be
aggravated by strenuous work, check
with your doctor before operating a
power tool.
If you have a pacemaker: The ignition
system of your machine produces an
electromagnetic field of very low
intensity. An effect on individual
pacemaker types cannot be excluded
entirely. STIHL recommends that you
consult your doctor and the
manufacturer of your pacemaker in
order to avoid health hazards.
Anyone who has consumed alcohol,
medicines affecting their ability to react
or drugs must not operate a power tool.
Postpone the work if the weather is bad
(snow, ice, wind) – higher risk of
accidents!
