English
Check that the spark plug boot is
–
secure – a loose boot may cause
sparking that could ignite
combustible fumes and cause a fire!
Never attempt to modify the controls
–
or safety devices
Keep the handles clean, dry and
–
free of oil as well as dirt – important
for safe guiding of the cut-off
machine.
For wet applications, provide
–
sufficient water
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not operate your power tool if it is
damaged or not properly assembled!
Starting the engine
Start the engine at least 3 meters from
the fueling spot, outdoors only.
On even ground, ensure a firm and
secure footing and hold the engine-
driven device firmly – the abrasive
cutting wheel must not touch any objects
or the ground and must not be in cutting
action.
The abrasive wheel may begin to rotate
as soon as the machine is started
The machine is operated by a single
person only – do not allow any person to
stay within the working area – nor with
starting.
Do not drop start your machine – the
correct starting procedure is described
in the User Manual.
After releasing the throttle trigger, the
abrasive wheel keeps on running for a
while – danger of injury due to coasting
effect!

Holding and guiding the machine
The cut-off machine may only be used
for hand-held cutting or when mounted
on a STIHL Cutquik cart.
Hand-held cutting
Always hold the machine firmly with both
hands: Right hand on the rear handle –
even if you are left-handed. To ensure
safe control, wrap your fingers tightly
around both handles.
When a cut-off machine with an abrasive
cutting wheel rotating is moved in the
direction of the arrow, a force is
produced which causes the machine to
tip sideways.
The object to be cut off has to be firmly
supported. Always guide the machine
towards the workpiece – never the other
way round.
Cutquik cart
STIHL cut-off machines can be mounted
onto a STIHL Cutquik cart.
Deflector
The adjustment range of the guard is
determined by a stop pin. Never push
the guard over the stop pin.
Set the abrasive cutting wheel guard
correctly: Guide particles of material
away from the user and machine.
Note the direction of flight of the
removed particles of material.
While working
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately by moving the stop switch
to STOP or 0.
Check for correct idling, so that the
abrasive cutting wheel is no longer
driven when the throttle trigger is
released and comes to a complete halt.
Regularly check idling. If the abrasive
wheel turns when the machine is idling,
have the machine repaired by the
specialist dealer.
