sufficient water
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not operate your power tool if it is
damaged or not properly assembled!
Starting the engine
Start the engine at least 3 meters from
the fueling spot, outdoors only.
On even ground, ensure a firm and
secure footing and hold the engine-
driven device firmly – the abrasive wheel
must not touch any objects or the ground
and must not be in cutting action.
The abrasive wheel may begin to rotate
as soon as the machine is started
The machine is operated by a single
person only – do not allow any person to
stay within the working area – nor with
starting.

Do not drop start your machine – the
correct starting procedure is described
in the User Manual.
After releasing the throttle trigger, the
abrasive wheel keeps on running for a
while – danger of injury due to coasting
effect!
Holding and guiding the machine
The cut-off machine may only be used
for hand-held cutting or when mounted
on a STIHL Cutquik cart.
Hand-held cutting
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.
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
supported. Always guide the machine
towards the workpiece – never the other
way round.
Cutquik cart
STIHL cut-off machines can be mounted
onto a STIHL Cutquik cart.
Deflector
The adjustment range of the guard is
determined by a stop pin. Never push
the guard over the stop pin.
Set the abrasive wheel guard correctly:
Guide particles of material away from
the user and machine.
