securely to the ground or surface.
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 or
surface on which the machine is being
started. Never attempt to start the cut-off
machine when the abrasive cutting
wheel is in a cut.
Once the engine has started,
immediately blip the throttle trigger,
which should release the slide control to
the run position and allow the engine to
slow down to idle. After the choke lever
is set to e, pull the brake lever toward
the front handle and release the wheel
brake. The abrasive cutting wheel
should not rotate when the engine is
idling and the wheel brake is released. If
the wheel does turn, adjust the
carburetor to set the proper idle speed.
See the chapter "Adjusting the
Carburetor" in this instruction manual.
If you cannot adjust the carburetor to the
proper idle speed, shut the machine off
and take it to an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer for repair before using
the TS 440. For complete starting
information, see the chapter
"Starting/Stopping the Engine" in this
instruction manual.
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, even when the wheel brake is
released. For directions on adjusting idle
speed, see the chapter "Adjusting the
Carburetor" in this manual.
WARNING
Do not use a cut-off machine with the
idle speed incorrectly adjusted. 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.
Wearing hearing protection reduces
sound perception. Be alert not to miss
voice or other audible signals from co-
workers or supervisors. Keep within
calling distance to other persons who
may assist in case of emergency.
WARNING
As soon as the engine is
running, this machine
generates 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, and
other injuries. Some of
the gases (e.g. carbon
monoxide) may be color -
less and odorless and
can cause asphyxiation
and death very quickly.
To reduce the risk of seri -
ous 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 masonry,
concrete, metal and other materials can
generate dust and fumes containing
chemicals known to cause serious or
fatal injury or illness, such as respiratory
disease, kidney disease, cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and
other injuries. If you are unfamiliar with
the risks associated with the material
being cut, review the applicable material
safety data sheet and/or consult your
employer, the material
