Stihl TS 480i Notice D'emploi page 6

English
Wear steel-toed safety
boots with non-slip soles.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of eye
injuries, wear close-fit-
ting safety glasses in
accordance with Euro-
pean Standard EN 166.
Make sure the safety
glasses are a snug fit.
Wear face protection and make sure it is
a good fit. Face protection alone is not
sufficient to protect the eyes.
Wear "personal" sound protection, e.g.
ear defenders.
Wear a safety hard hat where there is a
danger of head injuries from falling
objects.
Dust (e. g., crystalline material from the
object being cut), fumes and smoke may
be produced while cutting - health
hazard!
Always wear a dust mask if dust is
generated.
If fumes or smoke are anticipated (e. g.,
when cutting composite materials), wear
respiratory protection.
Wear sturdy protective
gloves made of a resist-
ant material (e. g.
leather).
STIHL can supply a comprehensive
range of personal protective equipment.

Transporting the machine
Always stop the engine.
Carry the device by the handlebar only –
abrasive wheel pointing to the rear – hot
muffler away from the body.
To avoid serious burn injuries, avoid
touching hot parts of the machine,
especially the surface of the muffler.
Never transport the engine-driven
device with attached abrasive wheel –
risk of breakage!
By vehicle: When transporting in a
vehicle, properly secure your machine to
prevent turnover, damage and fuel
spillage.
Refueling
Gasoline is highly flam-
mable – keep away from
fire or flame – do not spill
any fuel – no smoking.
Always shut off the engine before
refueling.
Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill
and cause a fire.
Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release
slowly and avoid fuel spillage.
Only refuel the machine in a well
ventilated place. If fuel has been spilled,
immediately clean the machine – do not
allow your clothes to be splashed with
fuel. If that happens, change your
clothes at once.
Dust may collect on the engine unit. If
dust gets mixed with fuel – risk of fire.
For this reason, ensure that the dust is
always removed.
Check for fuel leakage!
Never start the engine if
fuel has been spilled or is
leaking – Fatal burns may
result!
Bayonet-type fuel cap
Never use a tool to open or close the
bayonet-type fuel cap. This could
damage the cap and cause fuel to leak
out.
Close the bayonet-type fuel cap
carefully after refueling.
Cut-off machine, spindle bearing
Correct spindle bearings ensure the
concentricity and axial running of the
diamond abrasive wheel – if necessary,
get it checked by an approved dealer.
