Stihl TS 400 Cutquik Notice D'emploi page 11

English
Do not drop start. This method is very
dangerous because you may loose
control of the cut-off machine.
Place the cut-off machine on firm ground
or other solid surface in an open area.
Maintain good balance and secure
footing. Be absolutely sure that the
cutting wheel is clear of you and all other
obstructions and objects, including the
ground. When the engine starts at
starting-throttle, engine speed will be
fast enough for the clutch to engage V-
belt pulley and turn the wheel. Never
attempt to start the cut-off machine
when the abrasive wheel is in a cut.
!
Warning
When you pull the starter grip, don't
wrap the starter rope around your
hands. Do not allow the grip to snap
back, but guide the starter rope slowly
back to permit the rope to rewind
properly. Failure to follow this procedure
may result in injuries to hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.

Working Conditions
Operate the cut-off machine under good
visibility and daylight conditions only.
Wearing of hearing protection reduces
sound perception. Be alert not to miss
voice signals from co-workers. Keep
within calling distance to other persons
who may assist in case of emergency.
!
Warning!
Your cut-off machine
produces toxic exhaust
fumes as soon as the
combustion engine is
running. These gases
(e.g. carbon monoxide)
may be colorless and odorless. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury
from breathing toxic fumes, never run
the cut-off machine indoors or in poorly
ventilated locations. Ensure proper
ventilation when working in trenches or
other confined areas.
!
Warning!
Use of this product to cut masonry,
concrete, metal and other materials can
generate dust, mists and fumes
containing chemicals known to cause
serious or fatal injury or illness, such as
respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. If you are
unfamiliar with the risks associated with
the particular material being cut, review
the material safety data sheet and or
consult your employer, the material
manufacturer/supplier, governmental
agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH
and other sources on hazardous
materials. California and some other
authorities, for instance, have published
lists of substances known to cause
cancer, reproductive toxicity, etc.
