Stihl TS 700 Instruction Manual page 6

English
Wear safety boots with
steel toe caps and non-
slip soles.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of eye
injuries, wear tight-fitting
safety goggles conform-
ing to standard EN 166.
Make sure that the safety
goggles fit correctly.
Wear a face mask and make sure it fits
correctly. A face mask alone is not
sufficient to protect the eyes.
Wear a hard hat wherever there is any
risk of falling objects.
While working, dust (for example,
crystalline material from the object to be
cut), vapor and smoke may be produced
– danger to health!
Always wear a dust mask if dust is
generated.
If fumes or smoke are anticipated (e.g.,
when cutting composite materials), wear
respiratory protection.
Wear "personal" hearing protection – for
example, ear defenders.
Wear sturdy protective
gloves made of a resist-
ant material (e.g.
leather).
STIHL can supply a comprehensive
range of personal protective clothing
and equipment.

Transporting the machine
Always turn off the engine first.
Carry the machine by the handlebar only
– abrasive wheel pointing to the rear –
hot muffler away from the body.
Do not touch hot machine parts, in
particular the muffler surface – risk of
burns!
Never transport the power tool with
cutting wheel fitted – risk of breakage!
In vehicles: Properly secure the machine
to prevent turnover, damage and fuel
spillage.
Refueling
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel – keep
clear of naked flames and
fire – do not spill any fuel
– no smoking.
Switch off the engine before refueling.
Never refuel the machine while the
engine is still hot – the fuel may spill over
– risk of fire!
Open the fuel filler cap carefully so that
any excess pressure is relieved
gradually and fuel does not splash out.
The machine may only be refueled in a
well ventilated place. If fuel has been
spilled, immediately clean the machine –
do not allow your clothes to be splashed
with fuel. If that happens, change your
clothes at once.
Dust may collect on the engine unit,
especially around the carburetor. If dust
gets mixed with fuel – risk of fire!
Remove the dust from the engine unit
regularly.
Look out for leaks! Never
start the engine if fuel has
been spilled or is leaking
- Fatal burns may result!
Different cut-off machines may be
equipped with different filler caps:
Bayonet filler cap
Never use a tool to open or close the
bayonet filler cap. The cap can be
damaged and fuel may escape.
Secure the bayonet filler cap tightly after
refueling.
Filler cap with screw thread
Close the filler cap as
tightly as possible after
refueling.
This helps reduce the risk of engine
vibrations causing an incorrectly
tightened filler cap to loosen or come off
and spill quantities of fuel.
