!Warning!
If fuel gets spilled on clothes, especially
trousers, it is very important to change
clothes immediately. Do not rely upon
evaporation. Flammable quantities of
fuel may remain on clothes after a spill
for longer than expected. Cutting metal
with a cut-off machine when clothes are
wet or damp from gasoline is extremely
dangerous as the operator's clothes
might catch fire and cause serious or
fatal injury.
!Warning!
Unit vibrations can cause
an improperly tightened
fuel cap to loosen or come
off and spill quantities of
fuel.
In order to reduce the risk of fuel spillage
and fire, tighten fuel filler cap by hand as
securely as possible.
Before use always make sure that the
fuel cap has been properly tightened.
Check for fuel leakage while refueling
and during operation. If a fuel leak is
suspected, do not start or run the engine
until leak is fixed and spilled fuel has
been wiped away.
Starting
!Warning!
Your cut-off machine is a one-person
tool. Do not allow other persons to be
near the cut-off machine. Start and
operate your cut-off machine without
assistance. For specific starting
instructions, see the appropriate section
of your owner's manual.
Do not drop start. This method is very
dangerous because you may loose
control of the cut-off machine.
Place the cut-off machine on firm ground
or other solid surface in an open area.
Maintain a good balance and secure
footing. Be absolutely sure that the
cutting wheel is clear of you and all other
obstructions and objects, including the
ground. When the engine starts at
starting-throttle, engine speed will be
fast enough for the clutch to engage V-
belt pulley and turn the wheel. Never
attempt to start the cut-off machine
when the abrasive wheel is in a cut.
When you pull the starter grip, don't
wrap the starter rope around your
hands. Do not allow the grip to snap
back, but guide the starter rope slowly
back to permit the rope to rewind
properly. Failure to follow this procedure
may result in injuries to hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
Working Conditions
Operate the cut-off machine under good
visibility and daylight conditions only.
