2.8.1 Hand-held cutting
Always hold the machine firmly with both hands:
Right hand on the rear handle – even if you are
left-handed. To ensure safe control, wrap your
fingers tightly around both handles.
When a cut-off machine with an abrasive cutting
wheel rotating is moved in the direction of the
arrow, a force is produced which causes the
machine to tip sideways.
The object to be cut off has to be firmly suppor‐
ted. Always guide the machine towards the work‐
piece – never the other way round.
2.8.2 Cutquik cart
STIHL cut-off machines can be mounted onto a
STIHL Cutquik cart.
2.9 Deflector
The adjustment range of the guard is determined
by a stop pin. Never push the guard over the
stop pin.

2 Safety Precautions and Working Techniques
Set the abrasive cutting wheel guard correctly:
Guide particles of material away from the user
and machine.
Note the direction of flight of the removed parti‐
cles of material.
2.10 While working
In the event of impending danger or in an emer‐
gency, switch off the engine immediately by mov‐
ing the stop switch to STOP or 0.
Check for correct idling, so that the abrasive cut‐
ting wheel is no longer driven when the throttle
trigger is released and comes to a complete halt.
Regularly check idling. If the abrasive wheel
turns when the machine is idling, have the
machine repaired by the specialist dealer.
Keep clear the working area – bear in mind
obstacles, holes and pitches.
Take special care in slippery conditions – damp,
snow, ice, on slopes or uneven ground.
Don not work while standing on a ladder – not on
an insecure support – not over your shoulder
height – not with one hand only – risk of accident!
Make sure you always have a firm and secure
footing.
Do not work alone – keep within calling distance
of others in case help is needed.
Keep out further persons from the working area –
maintain sufficiently large distance to additional
persons to protect them from noise and flying
objects.
Be particularly alert and cautious when wearing
hearing protection because your ability to hear
warnings (shouts, alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Take a break in good time before you get tired.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight conditions
and only when visibility is good. Proceed with
caution, do not put others in danger.
