Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because the chain of a concrete cut‐
ter runs at very high speeds, special
safety precautions must be observed
to reduce the risk of personal injury.
It is important you read and under‐
stand the User Manual before com‐
missioning and keep it in a safe place
for future reference. Non-compliance
with the User Manual may cause seri‐
ous or even fatal injury.
Observe all applicable local safety regulations,
e.g. by trade organizations, social insurance
institutions, labor safety authorities etc.
If you have never used a power tool before:
Have your dealer or other experienced user
show you how to operate your machine – or
attend a special course to learn how to operate
it.
Minors should never be allowed to use the
machine – except for apprentices over the age of
16 when working under supervision.
Children, animals and bystanders must remain at
a distance.
When not using the machine, it must be laid
down in such a way that it does not endanger
anyone. Ensure that the machine cannot be
used without authorization.
The user is responsible for accidents or risks
involving third parties or their property.
Do not lend or rent your power tool without the
User Manual. Be sure that anyone using it under‐
stands the information contained in this manual.
The use of machines that emit noise may be limi‐
ted to certain hours of the day as specified by
national and/or regional or local regulations.
Anyone operating the machine must be well res‐
ted, in good physical health and in good mental
condition.
If you have any condition that might be aggrava‐
ted by strenuous work, check with your doctor
before operating a machine.
If you have a pacemaker: The ignition system of
your machine produces an electromagnetic field
of very low intensity. This field may interfere with
some pacemakers. STIHL recommends that per‐
sons with pacemakers consult their physician
and the pacemaker manufacturer to reduce any
health risk.
Anyone who has consumed alcohol or drugs or
medicines affecting their ability to react must not
operate a power tool.
To reduce the risk of accidents or injury, put off
the work in poor weather conditions (rain, snow,
ice, wind).
The machine may only be used for cutting.
The machine must not be used for any other pur‐
poses – risk of accidents!
It is not suitable for cutting wood or wooden
objects.
Asbestos dust is extremely toxic - the machine
must therefore never be used to cut asbestos!
Only use tools, guide bars, diamond abrasive
chains or accessories which have been
approved by STIHL for this machine or which are
technically equivalent. If you have any questions
in this respect, consult your dealer. Use only high
quality parts and accessories. in order to avoid
the risk of accidents and damage to the machine.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine STIHL
guide bars, diamond abrasive chains, chain
sprockets and accessories. They are specifically
designed to match the product and meet your
performance requirements.
Never attempt to modify your power tool in any
way since this may increase the risk of personal
injury. STIHL excludes all liability for personal
injury and damage to property caused while
using unauthorized attachments.
Do not use a high-pressure washer to clean the
power tool. The solid jet of water may damage
parts of the unit.
2.1
Clothing and equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and equipment.
Clothing must be sturdy but allow
complete freedom of movement.
Wear close-fitting clothes such as a
boiler suit, not a loose jacket.
Do not wear garments that could get caught in
moving parts of the machine – such as scarves,
neckties, jewelry. Tie up and confine long hair
above your shoulders.
Wear steel-toed safety boots with
non-slip soles.
