Stihl TSA 230 Instruction Manual page 47

Remove the battery before transporting
the cut-off machine.
Carry the cut-off machine only by the
handle – abrasive wheel pointing
backwards.
Never transport the cut-off machine with
attached abrasive wheel – risk of
breakage!
In vehicles: Properly secure the cut-off
machine to prevent turnover and
damage.
Cleaning
Clean plastic parts with a cloth. Harsh
detergents can damage the plastic.
Clean the cut-off machine to remove
dust and dirt – do not use degreasing
agents.
Clean the ventilation slots if necessary.
Extract metal chips – do not blow off with
compressed air.
Keep the guide grooves of the battery
free of dirt – clean if necessary.
Do not use high-pressure cleaners to
clean the cut-off machine. The hard
water jet can damage parts of the cut-off
machine.
Do not spray the cut-off machine with
water.
Accessories
Only use abrasive wheels or
accessories which have been approved
by STIHL for this cut-off machine or
which are technically equivalent. If you
have any questions in this respect,
TSA 230
consult a servicing dealer. Only use
high-quality abrasive wheels and
attachments. Otherwise there may be a
risk of accidents or damage to the cut-off
machine.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL abrasive wheels and
accessories. They are specifically
designed to match your model and meet
your performance requirements.
Never use circular saw
blades, carbide, rescue
or wood cutting attach-
ments or saws of any
kind – these may cause
fatal injuries! Instead of
uniformly removing parti-
cles as when cutting with
an abrasive wheel, the
teeth of a circular saw
blade may snag in the
material. This causes the
cut-off machine to react
in a highly aggressive
manner with uncon-
trolled and extremely
dangerous kickback.
Depth stop with suction support
The "depth stop with suction support" is
available as a special accessory and
can be used when dry cutting mineral
material. Observe the supplement sheet
supplied with the special accessory and
keep in a safe place.
When dry cutting mineral material, the
stress from dust produced can be
reduced by the "depth stop with suction
support" in conjunction with dust
extraction.
Always wear a dust mask if dust is
generated.
If fumes or smoke are anticipated (e. g.,
when cutting composite materials), wear
respiratory protection.
The dust extraction used must be
approved for suctioning mineral material
and must correspond to dust class M.
To prevent electrostatic effects, use an
antistatic suction hose. Otherwise there
is the risk of loss of control!
To dispose of the material collected,
refer to the Instruction Manual for the
dust extractor.
The desired cutting depth can be set via
the "depth stop with suction support".
Drive
Battery
Observe the supplement sheet or
instruction manual for the STIHL battery
and keep in a safe place.
Further safety instructions – see

Protect STIHL batteries and the STIHL
battery belt from flying sparks when
cutting steel – risk of fire or explosions!
Keep STIHL batteries away from dirty
water (e. g. from additives or solid
matter), conductive liquids and metal
objects (e. g. nails, coins, jewellery,
metal chips). The batteries can be
damaged – risk of fire or explosions!
Battery charger
Observe the supplement sheet for the
STIHL charger and keep in a safe place.
