When the machine is not in use, put it 
down safely so that it does not endanger 
anyone. The machine must be secured 
against unauthorized access.
The user is responsible for accidents or 
hazards to third parties or damage to 
their property.
Hand over or lend the power tool only to 
persons who are familiar with this model 
and its handling – always give them the 
instruction manual as well.
The use of noise-emitting machines may 
be restricted to certain times by national 
or local regulations.
The machine may only be operated by 
people who are fit, in good physical 
health and in good mental condition.
If you have any condition that might be 
aggravated by strenuous work, check 
with your doctor before operating a 
power tool.
If you have a pacemaker: The ignition 
system of this machine produces an 
electromagnetic field of very low 
intensity. An effect on individual 
pacemaker types cannot be excluded 
entirely. STIHL recommends that you 
consult your doctor and the 
manufacturer of your pacemaker in 
order to avoid health hazards.
Never work with the machine while 
under the influence of alcohol, 
medication or drugs capable of impairing 
your reaction speed.
Postpone the work if the weather is bad 
(snow, ice, wind) – higher risk of 
accidents!
The machine is designed only for cutting 
as specified. It is not suitable for cutting 
wood or wooden objects.
Asbestos dust is extremely toxic – the 
machine must therefore never be used 
to cut asbestos!
Do not use the machine for any other 
purpose because of the increased risk of 
accidents and damage to the machine.
Do not modify the machine – otherwise 
safety may be compromised. STIHL 
excludes all liability for personal injury 
and damage to property caused by 
using unauthorized attachments.
Only use abrasive wheels or 
accessories which have been approved 
by STIHL for this machine or which are 
technically equivalent. If you have any 
questions in this respect, consult a 
servicing dealer. Only use high-quality 
abrasive wheels and attachments. 
Otherwise there may be a risk of 
accidents or damage to the machine.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine 
STIHL abrasive wheels and 
accessories. These have been 
optimized for the product and the user's 
requirements.
Do not use a pressure washer to clean 
the machine. The strong water jet can 
damage parts of the machine.
Do not spray the machine with water.
Clothing and equipment 
Wear proper protective clothing and 
equipment.
When cutting steel, always wear clothing 
made of barely flammable material (e.g., 
leather or cotton with flame-retardant 
finish) – no man-made fibers – risk of fire 
due to flying sparks! 
Ensure that there are no flammable 
deposits (chips, fuel, oil, etc.) on your 
clothing.
Remove any clothes that could be 
trapped by moving parts, such as a 
scarf, tie or jewelry. Long hair must be 
tied up and covered.
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 
machine to react in a 
highly aggressive manner 
with uncontrolled and 
extremely dangerous 
kickback.
Clothing must be sturdy 
and snug-fitting, but allow 
complete freedom of 
movement. Wear close-
fitting clothes such as a 
boiler suit, not a loose 
jacket
