For assembly, follow the procedure
described at the appropriate section of
your owner’s manual.
Before operation of your cut-off machine
be sure the controls (e.g. throttle trigger,
stop switch.) and the safety devices are
working properly, the carburetor idle and
maximum speed are correctly adjusted,
and the wheel guard is in place and
securely fastened to your unit.
All wheels should be carefully inspected
for good condition before mounting.
Adjust the wheel guard so
that sparks, dust and cut
material are deflected
away from the operator,
and cannot reach
flammable surroundings. See operating
instructions of your owner’s manual.
Never operate a cut-off machine that is
damaged, improperly adjusted or not
completely and securely assembled.
Inspect for safety in operation.
Proper tension of the V-belt is important.
In order to avoid a false setting the
tensioning procedure must be followed
as described in your Manual. Always
make sure the hexagonal collar nuts for
the cast arm are tightened securely.
Check V-belt tension after one hour of
operation and correct if necessary.

The STIHL TS 350 and TS 360
Cutquik
TM
is supplied with a fuel filler
elbow connector to facilitate easier
refueling. Always keep the connector
and fuel filler cap tightened and properly
sealed. A loose or improperly seated
connector or cap may vibrate loose
during operation causing fuel spillage
which may result in a fire which can
cause serious or fatal injury. Never
operate the unit with a cracked, broken
or improperly seated or adjusted filler
neck. This could permit fuel leakage and
lead to fire. Do not fill tank above the
threefourths level of the neck entry
diameter into the tank. Do not fill tank
above the "max" line on the fuel filler
elbow. Overfilling reduces the room in
the tank for fuel expansion and may lead
to fuel spillage through the tank vent and
risk of fire.

Your STIHL cut-off machine uses an
oil-gasoline mixture for fuel (see chapter
"Fuel" of your owner’s manual).

Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. If spilled or
ignited by a spark or other
ignition source, it can cause
fire and serious burn injury
or property damage. Use extreme cau-
tion when handling gasoline or fuel mix.
Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame
near the fuel.

Fuel your cut-off machine in well-ventila-
ted areas, outdoors only.
Always shut off the engine and allow it to
cool before refueling. Relieve fuel tank
pressure by loosening the fuel cap
slowly.
Select bare ground for fueling and move
at least 10 feet (3 m) from fueling spot
before starting the engine. Wipe off any
spilled fuel and check for leakage.

If fuel gets spilled on clothes, especially
trousers, it is very important to change
clothes immediately. Do not rely upon
evaporation. Flammable quantities of
fuel may remain on clothes after a spill
for longer than expected. Cutting metal
with cut-off machine when clothes are
wet or damp from gasoline is extremely
dangerous as the operator’s clothes
