–
Both the accelerator lever and its
locking to move smoothly – the
accelerator lever has automatically
to return to its idle run position.
–
Slide control / master control / stop
switch must move easily to
STOP or 0
–
Check that the spark plug boot is
secure. A loose boot can lead to
flying sparks which may ignite the
escaping fuel/air mixture – risk of
fire!
–
Never attempt to modify the controls
or safety devices in any way
–
Keep the handles clean, dry and
free of oil as well as dirt – important
for safe guiding of the parting-off
grinder.
–
For wet applications, provide
sufficient water
The machine should only be used if it is
in good working order – risk of accident!
Starting the engine
Move at least 3 meters away from the
place at which the machine was refueled
and never start the machine in enclosed
spaces.
On even ground, ensure a firm and
secure footing and hold the engine-
driven device firmly – the abrasive 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 engine-driven device 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 the engine – start as
described in the Instruction Manual.
After releasing the acceleration lever,
the abrasive wheel keeps on running for
a while – danger of injury due to slowing
down!
Holding and controlling the machine
The cut-off machine may only be used
for hand-held cutting or when mounted
on a STIHL cut-off machine 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
reliable control, wrap your thumbs tightly
around the handlebar and handle.
When a cut-off machine with an abrasive
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 parted-off has to be
firmly supported. Always guide the
device towards the workpiece – never in
reverse.
Cut-off machine cart
STIHL cut-off machines can be mounted
onto a STIHL cut-off machine cart.
Guard
The adjustment range of the guard is
determined by a stop pin. Never push
the guard over the stop pin.
Set the abrasive wheel guard correctly:
Guide particles of material away from
the user and machine.
Note the direction of flight of the
removed particles of material.
