Intended use
The cut-off machine may only be used
for cutting. It is not suitable for cutting
wood or wooden objects.
Do not use the cut-off machine for any
other purpose – risk of accidents!
Asbestos dust is extremely toxic - the
machine must therefore never be used
to cut asbestos!
STIHL recommends operating the cut-
off machine with STIHL batteries
type AP.
For work that is not carried out on the
ground, only operate the cut-off machine
with STIHL batteries type AP placed
directly in the machine.
Do not modify the cut-off machine in any
way – this may increase the risk of
personal injury. STIHL excludes all
liability for personal injury and damage
to property caused while using
unauthorized attachments.

Clothing and equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Clothing must be sturdy
and snug-fitting, but allow
complete freedom of
movement. Tightly fitting
clothes – overall, no
smock
When cutting steel, always wear clothing
made of barely flammable material
(e. g., leather or cotton with flame-
retardant finish) – no manmade fibers –
risk of fire due to flying sparks!
Clothing must be free from flammable
deposits (chips, fuel, oil, etc.).
Do not wear such clothes that can be
caught by moving parts – no scarf, no
tie, no jewelry. Tie up and confine long
hair.
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 "personal" hearing protection –
e. g., ear defenders.
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 off), vapor and
smoke may be produced
– danger for 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 sturdy protective
gloves made of a resist-
ant material (e. g.
leather).
STIHL can supply a comprehensive
range of personal protective clothing
and equipment.
Check the condition of the equipment
before use and replace broken parts.
Transport
Before transport – even over shorter
distances – always switch off the
machine, set the locking lever to ƒ and
remove the battery from the cut-off
machine. This avoids the risk of the
engine starting unintentionally.
Allow the cut-off machine or battery to
dry out separately if they are wet after
use. During transport, make sure that
the cut-off machine and battery remain
dry. Only transport the battery in clean
and dry containers, do not use metallic
transport containers.
