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 reliable control, wrap your
thumbs tightly around the handlebar and
handle.
When a cut-off machine with rotating
cutting wheel is moved in the direction of
the arrow, a force is produced which
causes the machine to tip sideways.
The object that is to be cut must be
positioned firmly; always guide the
machine to the workpiece – never vice
versa.
Cut-off machine cart
STIHL cut-off machines can be mounted
on a STIHL cut-off machine cart.

Deflector
The adjusting range of the deflector is
determined by a stop pin. Never attempt
to push the deflector over the stop pin.
Set the deflector correctly for the cutting
wheel: so that particles of material are
guided away from the user and machine.
Note the direction in which the cut
particles are ejected.
During work
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately by moving the slide control
/ master control / stop switch to
STOP or 0.
Check for correct idling, so that the
cutting wheel is no longer driven when
the throttle trigger is released and
comes to a complete halt.
Check and/or correct the idle setting
regularly. Have the machine repaired by
a STIHL servicing dealer if the cutting
wheel continues to turn nevertheless.
Ensure that the working area is clear –
watch out for obstacles, holes and pits.
Beware of slipping on ice, water, snow
or uneven ground!
Never work on a ladder or on any other
unsteady support. Do not work above
shoulder height and never operate the
machine with one hand - risk of
accidents!
Ensure you always have a firm and safe
footing.
Do not work alone – keep within calling
distance of others in case help is
needed.
Never allow anyone in the working area
and keep well away from other people to
protect them from noise and flying
objects.
More care and attention than usual are
required when wearing ear protection,
as sounds warning you of impending
danger (shouts, beeps, etc.) cannot be
heard properly.
If you get tired, take a break in good
time.
Work calmly and methodically – only
with good lighting and visibility. Take
care not to endanger other people!
Your power tool produces
toxic exhaust fumes as
soon as the engine is
running. These gases
may be colorless and
odorless and may contain
unburnt hydrocarbons
and benzene. Never run
the engine indoors or in
poorly ventilated areas,
even if your model is
equipped with a catalytic
converter.
