Safety precautions
SV00068GB 21
4.6.11 When working with the cut-off saw always hold it with both
hands. Take the back handle with the right hand and the tubular
handle with the left hand. Hold the handles tightly with your thumbs
facing your fingers.
4.6.12 ATTENTION: When you release the throttle lever the cutting blade
will keep spinning for a short period of time (free-wheeling effect.).
4.6.13 Always make sure that you have a safe footing.
4.6.14 Hold the cut-off saw such that you will not breathe in the exhaust gas.
Do not work in closed rooms or in deep holes or ditches (danger of
poisoning by fumes).
4.6.15 Immediately switch off the cut-off saw if you observe any
changes in its operating behavior.
4.6.16 Stop the engine (14) before checking the V-belt‘s tension or
retightening the V-belt, before replacing a cutting blade, before
changing the cutting arm (inboard to outboard or vice versa) and
before eliminating malfunctions.
4.6.17 Turn off the engine immediately and check the cutting blade if you hear
or feel any change in cutting behaviour.
4.6.18 Turn off the cut-off saw when taking a break or stopping work (14).
Place the unit in such a way that the cutting blade is not touching
anything and cannot endanger anyone.
4.6.19 Do not put the overheated cut-off saw in dry grass or on any
inflammable objects. The muffler is very hot (danger of fire).
4.6.20 ATTENTION: After wet cutting, first turn off the water feed and then let
the blade run at least another 30 seconds, to fling off the remaining
water and prevent corrosion.
