Safety Precautions And Working Techniques - Stihl TS 400 Cutquick Instruction Manual

Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
!
Warning!
The use of any cut-off
machine may be
hazardous. Because a
cut-off machine is a high-
speed, fast-cutting power tool, special
safety precautions must be observed to
reduce the risk of personal injury and
fire.
It is important that you read, fully
understand and observe the following
safety precautions and warnings.
Read the instruction
manual and the safety
precautions periodically.
Do not lend or rent your cut-off machine
without the instruction manual. Be sure
that anyone using your cut-off machine
understands the information contained
in this manual. A first-time operator
should obtain practical instruction before
using the machine. Employers should
establish a training program for
operators of gasoline-powered, hand-
held portable, cut-off machines to
assure safe operation of these
machines. These safety precautions
and warnings apply to the use of all
STIHL Cutquiks.

dexterity or judgment. Do not operate a
cut-off machine when you are fatigued.
Be alert - if you get tired while operating
your cut-off machine, take a break;

Working with any cut-off machine can be
strenuous. If you have any condition that
might be aggravated by strenuous work,
check with your doctor before operating
a cut-off machine.
