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 User
Manual before commis -
sioning and keep it in a
safe place for future ref -
erence. Non-observance
of the safety precautions
may result in serious or
even fatal injury.
Observe all applicable local safety
regulations, e.g. by trade organizations,
social insurance institutions, labor safety
authorities etc.
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.
If you have never used a power tool
before: have your STIHL dealer or other
specialist show you how to operate the
machine – or attend one of the special
training courses.
Minors should never be allowed to use
the machine – except for apprentices
over the age of 16 when working under
supervision.
Children, animals and bystanders must
not be allowed near the machine.
