absolutely sure that the cutting wheel is clear of you and all other obstructions and objects, including the ground. When the engine starts at starting-throttle, engine speed will be fast enough for the clutch to engage the belt pulley and turn the wheel. Never attempt to start the cutoff machine when the abrasive wheel is in a cut. Once the engine has started, immediately blip the throttle trigger, which should release the starting throttle lock and allow the engine to slow down to idle. 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. For directions to adjust idle speed, see the appropriate section of your instruction manual. WARNING Do not use a cut-off machine with incorrect idle speed adjustment. 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 of hearing protection reduces sound perception. Be alert not to miss voice signals from co-workers. Keep within calling distance to other persons who may assist in case of emergency. WARNING As soon as the engine is running, this product generates toxic exhaust fumes containing chemicals, such as unburned hydrocarbons (including benzene) and carbon monoxide, that are known to cause respiratory problems, cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some of the gases (e.g. carbon monoxide) may be colorless and odorless. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury/illness from inhaling toxic fumes, never run the machine indoors or in poorly ventilated 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 English 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. A water attachment kit is provided with your cut-off machine and should be used to reduce dust whenever wet cutting is feasible. For dust suppression purposes, the flow rate should be at least 0.6 liters (20 fl.oz) of water per minute. If wet cutting at the recommended flow rate is not utilized, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the material being cut. See the section on "Respiratory Protection" in the chapter "Sample Applications" in the instruction manual. Even if wet cutting at the recommended flow rate, an operator who is actively cutting for more than two hours in one day should wear at least a NIOSHapproved disposable respirator. Consult and follow any federal, state or local laws or regulations with respect to dry and wet cutting. TS 700, TS 800 9
