Stihl Cutquik TS 700 Safety Manual page 8

By vehicle: Properly secure your cut-off
machine to prevent turnover, fuel
spillage and damage to the cut-off
machine. Never transport with cutting
wheel mounted. A wheel damaged
during transportation may shatter during
operation and cause serious personal
injury.
Preparation for the Use of the Cut-Off
Machine
For assembly, follow the procedure
described in the appropriate section of
your instruction manual.
Keep the handles dry, clean and free of
oil and fuel.
!
Warning!
Before operation of your cut-off
machine, be sure the controls (e.g.
throttle trigger, stop switch) and the
safety devices are working properly, the
carburetor idle and maximum speed are
correctly adjusted, the wheel is properly
mounted, and the wheel guard is in
place and securely fastened to your unit.
All wheels should be carefully inspected
for good condition before mounting.
Cut-off-Machine Safety Manual
Adjust the wheel guard so
that sparks, dust and cut
material are deflected
away from the operator,
and cannot reach
flammable surroundings.
See section "Operating Instructions" of
your instruction manual.
Never operate a cut-off machine that is
damaged, improperly adjusted or not
completely and securely assembled.
Inspect for safety in operation.
Proper tension of the V-belt is important.
In order to avoid an incorrect setting, the
tensioning procedure must be followed
as described in your manual. Always
make sure the hexagonal collar nuts for
the cast arm are tightened securely.
Check V-belt tension after one hour of
operation and correct if necessary.
Fuel
Your STIHL power tool uses an oil-
gasoline mixture for fuel (see the chap-
ter on "Fuel" of your instruction manual).
!
Warning!
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. If spilled
and ignited by a spark or
other ignition source, it
can cause fire and serious
burn injury or property
damage. Use extreme caution when
handling gasoline or fuel mix.
Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame
near the fuel or the power tool. Note that
combustible fuel vapor may escape from
the fuel system.
Fueling Instructions
!
Warning!
Fuel your power tool in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors. Always shut off the
engine and allow it to cool before
refueling. Gasoline vapor pressure may
build up inside the fuel tank depending
on the fuel used, the weather conditions
and the tank venting system.
In order to reduce the risk of burns and
other personal injury from escaping gas
vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler
cap on your power tool carefully so as to
allow any pressure build-up in the tank
to release slowly. Never remove the fuel
filler cap while the engine is running.
