For any maintenance please refer to the
maintenance chart and to the warranty
statement near the end of the instruction
manual.
Store composite wheels on a flat surface
in a dry place, preferably at a constant
temperature, where there is not a risk of
frost. Do not store a cut-off machine with
a wheel mounted on the machine.
Store the power tool in a dry, locked
location with retaining latch on ƒ, the
battery removed and out of reach of
children.
If the battery is not removed, there is the
risk that the plug-in contacts on the cut-
off machine and battery become
corroded. Such corrosion can cause
irreparable damage to the cut-off
machine and battery. Allow the cut-off
machine and battery to dry out
separately if they are wet after use.
This chapter relays the prescribed
wording of general safety advice for
handheld motor-operated electric cut-off
machines contained in UL 60745-1 and
UL 60745-2-22.
The safety precautions and warnings on
avoiding an electric shock given under
"2) Electrical safety" do not apply to
STIHL cordless electric power tools.
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away
while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
