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.
