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 at the appropriate section of
your owner's manual.
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, and the wheel guard
is in place and securely fastened to your
unit. All wheels should be carefully
inspected for good condition before
mounting.
Adjust the wheel guard so
that sparks, dust and cut
material are deflected
away from the operator,
and cannot reach
flammable surroundings.
See operating instructions of your
Owner's 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 a false 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.
Fueling
Your STIHL cut-off machine uses an oil-
gasoline mixture for fuel (see chapter
"Fuel" of your Owner's Manual).
!Warning!
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. If spilled
or 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.
Fueling Instructions
!Warning!
Fuel your cut-off machine in well-
ventilated areas, outdoors only. Always
shut off the engine and allow it to cool
before refueling. Relieve fuel tank
pressure by loosening the fuel filler cap
slowly.
!Warning!
Select bare ground for fueling and move
at least 10 feet (3 m) from fueling spot
before starting the engine. After
refueling, properly tighten fuel cup, wipe
off any spilled fuel and check for
leakage.
