Never use the cut-off machine with one
hand. Your STIHL cut-off machine is
designed for hand-held use or operation
on a cut-off machine cart. Cutting with
your cut-off machine resting on the
ground or other surface can cause
excessive wear to the bracket designed
to protect the bottom of the tank
housing. Loss of fuel and personal injury
from fire may result. Replace damaged
or badly worn brackets immediately.
Grip: Always hold the cut-off machine
firmly with both hands when the engine
is running. Place your left hand on front
handle bar and your right hand on rear
handle and throttle trigger.
Left-handed users should follow this
instruction too.
Wrap your fingers tightly around the
handles, keeping the handles cradled
between your thumbs and forefingers.
Make sure your cut-off machine handles
and grip are in good condition and free
of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
Avoid standing in direct line with the
wheel.

Avoid stumbling on obstacles and watch
out for holes or ditches. Be extremely
cautious when working on slopes or
uneven ground.

Never operate the cut-off machine with
the starting-throttle lock engaged as this
does not permit proper control of the
speed of the unit and may lead to
serious injury.

Sparks from cutting metal
can burn or cause cloth-
ing to catch fire. Don’t use
a cut-off machine on flam-
mable ground. Always direct sparks
away from the operator or any flamm-
able surroundings.

To reduce the risk of injury from fire,
do not cut into any pipe, drum or other
container without first insuring that it
does not contain volatile or flammable
substance.

The wheel guard is adjustable. It is
extremely important that the wheel
guard is in place and set to suit the type
of work and your stance. The guard
should always be adjusted so that the
user is not endangered by particles of
the material being cut, sparks or pieces
of damaged wheels either directly or by
