8. Begin cutting and continue cutting
at full throttle.
9. Do not overreach.
10. Never cut above shoulder height.
11. Never sideload, jam or twist a wheel
in the cut.
12. Use your cut-off machine for cutting
only. It is not designed for prying or
shoveling away any objects.
13. Be especially alert for reactive
forces, including kickback, when
cutting with the front and upper
quadrant of the wheel. Never pull
the top of the wheel guard back
beyond the limit stop.
14. Be alert to shifting of the workpiece
or anything that could cause the cut
to close and pinch the wheel,
especially in the upper quadrant.
Support the workpiece in such a
way that the cut remains open.
Never make a cut that results in a
binding, pinching or clamping of the
wheel. Finish a separating cut in the
top portion of the workpiece using
the bottom section of the wheel and
the guard adjusted fully forward
covering the top of the wheel.
15. Use wet-cutting whenever feasible.
In a pinch situation the water can act
as a lubricant and reduce the
energy of reactive forces. It also
helps control dust.

16. Release the pressure on the cut-off
machine as you reach the end of the
cut. Too much pressure may cause
the operator to lose control of the
cut-off machine when the abrasive
wheel completes the cut. The
abrasive wheel may contact the
operator or strike some foreign
object and shatter.
17. Use extreme caution when
reentering a cut and do not twist the
wheel in the cut, turn it at an angle
or jam it into the cut as this may
result in a binding or pinching of the
wheel.
Gyroscopic Forces
Be alert for gyroscopic forces that are
caused by the rapid spinning of the cut-
off wheel. These forces result in
opposition to directional change, e.g.,
when the operator attempts to move the
machine in a sideways direction, and
can result in loss of control.
Maintenance, Repair and Storage of the
Cut-Off Machine
Never operate a cut-off machine that is
damaged, improperly adjusted or not
completely or properly assembled.
Follow the maintenance and repair
instructions in the appropriate sections
of this instruction manual.
WARNING
STIHL recommends the use of only
STIHL replacement parts for
maintenance and repair. Use of parts
manufactured by others may be
extremely dangerous and could result in
serious or fatal injury.
WARNING
Always shut off the machine and make
sure that the wheel is stopped before
doing any maintenance or repair work or
cleaning the cut-off machine. When the
machine is shut off, the wheel continues
to rotate for a few seconds. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in this manual as
appropriate for users. STIHL
recommends that you have all other
work performed at your authorized
STIHL servicing dealer.
Clean off dust and other cutting debris
after finishing work. Check and, if
necessary, tighten all nuts, bolts and
screws except the carburetor
adjustment screws after each use.
Do not clean your machine with a
pressure washer. The solid jet of water
may damage the machine or its
components.
WARNING
Never test the ignition system with the
spark plug boot removed from the spark
plug or with an unseated spark plug,
since uncontained sparking may cause
a fire.
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
