Stihl GS 461 Manual De Instrucciones página 11

Position the concrete cutter in such a
way that your body is clear of the cutting
attachment whenever the engine is
running. Stand to the left of cut while
cutting.
Working Conditions
Operate and start your power tool only
outdoors in a well ventilated area.
Operate it under good visibility and
daylight conditions only. Work carefully.
WARNING
Your concrete cutter is a one-person
machine. Do not allow other persons in
the general work area, even when
starting. Stop the engine immediately if
you are approached.
Use extreme caution when cutting
openings, recesses, etc., someone
could be standing behind them – look
beforehand.
WARNING
Even though bystanders should be kept
away from the running concrete cutter,
never work alone. Keep within calling
distance of others in case help is
needed. Wearing of hearing protection
reduces sound perception. Be alert not
to miss voice signals from co-workers.

WARNING
As soon as the engine is
running, this product gen-
erates toxic exhaust
fumes containing chemi-
cals, such as unburned
hydrocarbons (including
benzene) and carbon
monoxide, that are
known to cause respira-
tory problems, cancer,
birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Some
of the gases (e.g. carbon
monoxide) may be color-
less and odorless. To
reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injury/illness from
inhaling toxic fumes,
never run the machine
indoors or in poorly venti-
lated locations. Ensure
proper ventilation when
working in trenches or
other confined areas.
WARNING
Use of this product to cut certain
materials can generate dust and fumes
containing chemicals known to cause
serious or fatal injury or illness, such as
respiratory disease, cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. If
you are unfamiliar with the risks
associated with the particular material
being cut, review the material safety
data sheet and/or consult your
employer, the material
manufacturer/supplier, governmental
agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH
and other sources on hazardous
materials. California and some other
authorities, for instance, have published
lists of substances known to cause
cancer, reproductive toxicity, etc.
Control dust and fumes at the source
where possible. In this regard use good
work practices and follow the
recommendations of the
manufacturer/supplier, OSHA/NIOSH,
and occupational and trade
associations.
Even if wet cutting, an operator who is
actively cutting for more than two hours
in one day should wear at least a
NIOSH-approved disposable respirator.
Consult and follow any federal, state or
local laws or regulations.
WARNING
Cutting masonry, concrete and other
materials with silica in their composition
may give off dust containing crystalline
silica. Silica is a basic component of
sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and
numerous other minerals and rocks.
Repeated and/or substantial inhalation
of airborne crystalline silica can cause
serious or fatal respiratory diseases,
including silicosis. In addition, California
and some other authorities have listed
respirable crystalline silica as a
substance known to cause cancer.
When cutting such materials, always
follow the respiratory precautions
mentioned above.
WARNING
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous
and can cause severe or fatal injury,
respiratory illness or cancer. The use
and disposal of asbestos-containing
products have been strictly regulated by
English
