Stihl TS 410 A EWC STIHL Cutquik Product Instruction Manual - Page 10

English Warning! Before operation of your cut-off machine, be sure the controls (e.g. throttle trigger, throttle trigger lockout, stop switch) and the safety devices are working properly, the carburetor idle and maximum speed are correctly adjusted, the wheel is properly mounted, 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 section "Operating Instructions" of your instruction manual. Warning! Check that the spark plug boot is securely mounted on the spark plug - a loose boot may cause arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a fire. Proper tensioning of the ribbed V-belt is important. In order to avoid an incorrect 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 ribbed belt tension after one hour of operation and correct if necessary. Starting Warning! Your cut-off machine is a one-person tool. Do not allow other persons to be near a running cut-off machine. Start and operate your cut-off machine without assistance. For specific starting instructions, see the appropriate section of your instruction manual. Do not drop start. This method is very dangerous because you may lose control of the cut-off machine. Place the cut-off machine on firm ground or other solid surface in an open area. Maintain 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 the belt pulley and turn 002BA058 KN the wheel. Never attempt to start the cutoff machine when the abrasive wheel is in a cut. Once the engine has started, immediately blip the throttle trigger, which should release the starting throttle lock and allow the engine to slow down to idle. Warning! When you pull the starter grip, do not wrap the starter rope around your hand. 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. Important Adjustments At correct idle speed, the wheel should not turn. For directions to adjust idle speed, see the appropriate section of your instruction manual. Warning! Do not use a cut-off machine with incorrect idle speed adjustment. The rotating wheel may cause injury. If you cannot obtain the correct setting, have your STIHL dealer check your cut-off machine and make proper adjustments or repairs. Working Conditions Operate the cut-off machine under good visibility and daylight conditions only. 8 TS 410, TS 420
