WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury
or property damage, use only spark
plugs authorized by STIHL. Always
press the spark plug boot snugly onto
the spark plug terminal of the proper
size. A loose connection between the
spark plug terminal and the ignition wire
connector in the boot may create arcing
that could ignite combustible fumes and
cause a fire. Keep the spark plug clean,
and make sure the ignition lead is in
good condition. Do not use a spark plug
with a detachable SAE adapter terminal.
Arcing may occur that could ignite
combustible fumes and cause a fire.
This can result in serious injuries or
damage to property.
WARNING
Do not operate your cut-off machine if
the muffler is damaged, missing or
modified. An improperly maintained
muffler will increase the risk of fire and
hearing loss. Never touch a hot muffler
or spill fuel or other flammable liquid
over it. Your muffler is equipped with a
spark-arresting screen to reduce the risk
of fire. Never operate your cut-off
machine if the screen is missing or
damaged.
WARNING
Operation of this equipment may create
sparks that can start fires around dry
vegetation. A spark arrester is required.
The operator should contact local fire
agencies for laws or regulations relating
to fire prevention requirements.

In California, it is a violation of § 4442 or
§ 4443 of the Public Resources Code to
use or operate gasoline-powered tools
on forest-covered, brush-covered or
grass-covered land unless the engine's
exhaust system is equipped with a
complying spark arrester that is
maintained in effective working order.
The owner/operator of this product is
responsible for properly maintaining the
spark arrester. Other states or
governmental entities/agencies, such as
the U.S. Forest Service, may have
similar or additional requirements.
Contact your local fire agency or forest
service for the laws or regulations
relating to fire protection requirements.
Even if the spark arrester is in place, it
may not be advisable to use gasoline-
powered equipment, including cut-off
machines, in hot, dry conditions or
around dry vegetation or brush. Contact
your local fire authorities or the U.S.
Forest Service if you have any question
about whether conditions are suitable for
the use of a cut-off machine.
For any maintenance please refer to the
maintenance chart and to the warranty
statement near the end of this manual.
Do not store a cut-off machine with a
wheel mounted on the machine. Store
the cut-off machine in a high or locked
place, out of reach and inaccessible to
children.
Empty the fuel tank before storing your
cut-off machine for longer than a few
days. Store fuel only in correctly labeled
and approved containers. Avoid direct
skin contact and do not inhale the gas
vapors. Dispose of fuel in accordance
with all applicable laws and regulations.
WARNING
Check the wheel brake system as
described in this manual before starting
work. Do not work with the cut-off
machine if the wheel brake system is not
functioning properly. If the brake is not
operating properly, have it repaired by
an authorized STIHL servicing dealer
before using the machine.
