During assembly, cleaning, maintenance and repair

• The power tool must not be assembled, maintained, repaired or stored in the vicinity of open flames.
• Before assembly, cleaning, maintenance and repair, always turn off the engine; the stop dial must be set
to "0" and the cut-off wheel must have stopped.
Only the idle speed setting must be performed with the engine running.
• Wear protective gloves for any work.
• The power tool requires regular maintenance. Only perform such maintenance and repair work on your
own that are described in these operating instructions and that you consider yourself skilled at
performing. Any other work must only be performed by specialist workshops authorized by the
manufacturer.
• Danger of burns! Do not touch the muffler while it is still hot – not even for maintenance or to check it for
tight fit.
• Only perform repairs with original spare parts.
• Danger of accident and injury! Never modify the power tool, as this may impair safety!

Before start-up

Before start-up, check the entire power tool for operationally safe conditions. In addition to the notes in the
operating and maintenance notes ( chap. 8, page 30), check the following items:
• Stop dial and one-touch stop button must be easy to operate.
• The throttle control must move freely and return automatically to the idle position. It must not be possible
to operate the throttle control without pushing (unlocking) the throttle control lock (throttle control
locked).
• The cut-off wheel must be attached firmly to the spindle.
• Danger of fire! Ignition cable and spark plug connector must be firmly in place. Loose connection can
result in sparks which could ignite any escaping fuel/air mixture!
• In case of irregularities, visible damage, improper settings or limited function, the power tool must not be
started. In such cases, have the power tool inspected by specialist workshops authorized by the
manufacturer.
