Stihl TS 410 Notice D'emploi page 11

cutting wheels of this type become wet,
their cutting performance is reduced and
they become dull. If composite resin
cutting wheels of this type become wet
while working (e. g., due to puddles or
water in pipes), do not increase the
cutting pressure, but continue working
with the same pressure – risk of
breakage! Wet composite resin cutting
wheels must be used up immediately.
Cut-off machine cart
Clear a path for the cart. If the cart is
pushed over objects, the cutting wheel
may become wedged in the cut and
shatter!
Vibrations
Prolonged use of the power tool may
result in vibration-induced circulation
problems in the hands ("white finger
disease").
No general recommendation can be
given for the length of usage because it
depends on several factors.
The period of usage is prolonged by:
– Hand protection (wearing warm
gloves)
– Work breaks
The period of usage is shortened by:
– Any personal tendency to suffer
from poor circulation (symptoms:
frequently cold fingers, tingling
sensation)
– Low outside temperatures
– Amount of gripping force (holding
the power tool tightly restricts
circulation)
TS 410, TS 420
Users who use the machine periodically
or for long periods or users who
repeatedly experience corresponding
symptoms (e.g., tingling sensation in
fingers), should undergo a medical
examination.
Maintenance and repairs
The machine must be serviced regularly.
Do not attempt any maintenance or
repair work not described in the
Instruction Manual. All other work should
be carried out by a servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that maintenance
and repair work be carried out only by
authorized STIHL dealers. STIHL
dealers receive regular training and are
supplied with technical information.
Use only high-quality replacement parts,
in order to avoid the risk of accidents or
damage to the machine. Contact a
dealer if in doubt.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL spare parts. Such parts have
been optimized for the machine and the
user's requirements.
Before starting any maintenance or
repair work and before cleaning the
machine, always stop the engine and
disconnect the spark plug boot – risk
of injury if the engine starts up
inadvertently! – Exception: adjustment
of carburetor and idle speed.
To reduce the risk of fire due to ignition
outside the cylinder, move the slide
control / stop switch to STOP or 0 before
turning the engine over on the starter
with the spark plug boot removed or the
spark plug unscrewed.
Do not service or store the machine near
a naked flame – risk of fire due to the
fuel.
Check fuel cap regularly for tightness.
Use only spark plugs that are in perfect
condition and have been approved by
STIHL – see Specifications.
Inspect ignition lead (insulation in good
condition, secure connection).
Check that the muffler is in perfect
working condition.
Do not use the machine if the muffler is
damaged or missing - risk of fire! –
Hearing damage!
Never touch a hot muffler – risk of
burns!
Check the rubber buffers underneath
the machine - the housing must not rub
against the ground - risk of damage!
The condition of the antivibration
elements influences vibration behavior –
inspect antivibration elements
periodically.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair
of the emission control devices and
systems may be performed by any
nonroad engine repair establishment
or individual. However, if you make a
warranty claim for a component
which has not been serviced or
maintained properly or if
nonapproved replacement parts were
used, STIHL may deny coverage.
For any maintenance please refer to the
maintenance chart and to the warranty
statement near the end of the instruction
manual.
