English / USA 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 instruction manual. 002BA058 KN 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 V-belt pulley and turn the wheel. Never attempt to start the cut-off 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 and allow the engine to slow down to idle. !Warning! When you pull the starter grip, don't 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. Working Conditions Operate the cut-off machine under good visibility and daylight conditions only. Wearing of hearing protection reduces sound perception. Be alert not to miss voice signals from co-workers. Keep within calling distance to other persons who may assist in case of emergency. !Warning! Your cut-off machine produces toxic exhaust fumes as soon as the combustion engine is running. These gases (e.g. carbon monoxide) may be colorless and odorless. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury from breathing toxic fumes, never run the cut-off machine indoors or in poorly ventilated locations. Ensure proper ventilation when working in trenches or other confined areas. 10 TS 460
