Stihl TS 410, Instruction Manual, Page: 6 / 40

After releasing the throttle trigger, the abrasive
wheel keeps on running for a while – danger of
injury due to coasting effect!
2.8 Holding and guiding the
machine
The cut-off machine may only be used for hand-
held cutting or when mounted on a STIHL Cut‐
quik cart.
2.8.1
Hand-held cutting
002BA549 AM
Always hold the machine firmly with both hands:
Right hand on the rear handle – even if you are
left-handed. To ensure safe control, wrap your
fingers tightly around both handles.
180BA022 KN
When a cut-off machine with an abrasive cutting
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 cut off has to be firmly suppor‐
ted. Always guide the machine towards the work‐
piece – never the other way round.
2.8.2
Cutquik cart
STIHL cut-off machines can be mounted onto a
STIHL Cutquik cart.
2.9 Deflector
The adjustment range of the guard is determined
by a stop pin. Never push the guard over the
stop pin.
002BA550 AM
Set the abrasive cutting wheel guard correctly:
Guide particles of material away from the user
and machine.
Note the direction of flight of the removed parti‐
cles of material.
2.10 While working
If there is imminent danger or in an emergency,
immediately stop the engine – set the slide con‐
trol / master control lever /stop switch to
STOP or 0.
Check for correct idling, so that the abrasive cut‐
ting wheel is no longer driven when the throttle
trigger is released and comes to a complete halt.
Check and correct the idle speed setting at regu‐
lar intervals. Have the machine repaired by a
STIHL dealer if the cutting wheel continues to
turn nevertheless.
Keep clear the working area – bear in mind
obstacles, holes and pitches.
Take special care in slippery conditions – damp,
snow, ice, on slopes or uneven ground.
Don not work while standing on a ladder – not on
an insecure support – not over your shoulder
height – not with one hand only – risk of accident!
Make sure you always have good balance and
secure footing.
Do not work alone – keep within calling distance
of others in case help is needed.
Keep out further persons from the working area –
maintain sufficiently large distance to additional
persons to protect them from noise and flying
objects.
Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing
hearing protection because your ability to hear
warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Take a break in good time before you get tired.
