Stihl FS 460 C-M K Notice D'emploi page 7

Keep the handles dry and clean –
–
free from oil and dirt – for safe
control of the power tool.
Adjust the harness and handle(s) to
–
suit your height and reach. See
chapters on "Fitting the Harness"
and "Balancing the Unit".
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not operate your power tool if it is
damaged or not properly assembled.
If you use a shoulder strap or full
harness: Practice removing and putting
down the machine as you would in an
emergency. To avoid damage, do not
throw the machine to the ground when
practicing.
Starting the Engine
Start the engine at least 3 meters from
the fueling spot, outdoors only.
Place the unit on firm ground in an open
area. Make sure you have good balance
and secure footing. Hold the unit
securely. The cutting attachment must
be clear of the ground and all other
obstructions because it may begin to run
when the engine starts.
Your power tool is a one-person unit. To
reduce the risk of injury from thrown
objects, do not allow other persons
within a radius of 15 meters of your own
position – even when starting.
To reduce the risk of
injury, avoid contact with
the cutting attachment.

Do not drop start the
power tool – start the
engine as described in
the instruction manual.
Note that the cutting
attachment continues to
run for a short period
after you let go of the
throttle trigger – flywheel
effect.
To reduce the risk of fire, keep hot
exhaust gases and hot muffler away
from easily combustible materials (e.g.
wood chips, bark, dry grass, fuel).
Holding and Controlling the Power Tool
Always hold the power tool firmly with
both hands on the handles.
Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
Right handle on control handle, left hand
on left handle.
During Operation
Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
In the event of imminent danger or in an
emergency, press the stop switch to
shut off the engine.
15m (50ft)
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow
any other persons within a radius of 15
meters of your own position. To reduce
the risk of damage to property, also
maintain this distance from other objects
(vehicles, windows).
The correct engine idle speed is
important to ensure that the cutting
attachment stops rotating when you let
go of the throttle trigger. If the cutting
attachment continues to rotate when the
engine is idling, have the machine
checked by your servicing dealer. STIHL
recommends a STIHL servicing dealer.
Take special care in slippery conditions
– damp, snow, ice, on slopes or uneven
ground.
Watch out for obstacles: Roots, tree
stumps or holes which could cause you
to trip or stumble.
Always stand on the ground while
working, never on a ladder, work
platform or any other insecure support.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
To reduce the risk of accidents, take a
break in good time to avoid tiredness or
exhaustion.
