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 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 "personal" hearing protection – for
example, ear defenders.
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,
particularly around the carburetor. 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!
Different cut-off machines may be
equipped with different fuel caps:
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.
Threaded fuel cap
After fueling, tighten
down the screw-type fuel
cap as securely as
possible.
This helps reduce the risk of unit
vibrations causing an incorrectly
tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off
and spill quantities of fuel.
