Safety Precautions and Working Techniques English / USA !Warning! The use of any cut-off machine may be hazardous. Because a cut-off machine is a highspeed, fast-cutting power tool, special safety precautions must be observed to reduce the risk of personal injury and fire. It is important that you read, fully understand and observe the following safety precautions and warnings. Read the instruction manual and the safety precautions periodically. Do not lend or rent your cut-off machine without the instruction manual. Be sure that anyone using your cut-off machine understands the information contained in this manual. A first-time operator should obtain practical instruction before using the machine. Employers should establish a training program for operators of gasoline-powered, handheld portable, cut-off machines to assure safe operation of these machines. These safety precautions and warnings apply to the use of all STIHL Cutquiks. !Warning! Careless or improper use of any cut-off machine may cause serious or fatal injury. Have your STIHL dealer show you how to operate your cut-off machine. Observe all applicable national, state and local safety regulations, standards and ordinances. !Warning! Minors should never be allowed to use a cut-off machine. Bystanders, especially children, and animals should not be allowed in the area where a cut-off machine is in use. Never let the cut-off machine run unattended. Different models may have different parts and controls. See the appropriate section of your instruction manual for a description of the controls and function of the parts of your model cut-off machine. Safe use of a cut-off machine involves - the operator - the cut-off machine - the use of the cut-off machine. THE OPERATOR Physical Condition You must be in good physical condition and mental health and not under the influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision, dexterity or judgment. Do not operate a cut-off machine when you are fatigued. Be alert - if you get tired while operating your cut-off machine, take a break; tiredness may result in loss of control. Working with any cut-off machine can be strenuous. If you have any condition that might be aggravated by strenuous work, check with your doctor before operating a cut-off machine. TS 400 3
