Engineering improvements
STIHL's philosophy is to continually
improve all of its products. For this
reason we may modify the design,
engineering and appearance of our
products periodically.
Therefore, some changes, modifications
and improvements may not be covered
in this manual.
Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Special safety precau-
tions must be taken when
working with the cut-off
machine, due to the very
high rotational speed of
the abrasive wheel.
It is important you read
and understand the
Instruction Manual before
first use and keep the
manual in a safe place for
future reference. Non-
observance of the safety
instructions may result in
serious or even fatal
injury.
Comply with national safety regulations
issued, e.g. by employers' liability
insurance associations, social security
institutions, occupational safety and
health authorities or other organizations.
As for employers within the European
Community, the provision 2009/104/EC
is binding – Safety and health protection
with the use of machines and devices by
employees at work
Anyone using the power tool for the first
time: Let a shop assistant or expert
explain you the safe handling – or take
part in a training course.
Minors are not allowed to work with the
power tool – except adolescents above
16 years of age, who were instructed
under supervision.
