Starting The Engine
■ Start the engine at least 10 feet
(3m) away from a fueling
location.
■ When starting the engine,
make sure the cut-off wheel
does not touch any object or
ground. As soon as the engine
starts, the cut-off wheel may
begin to rotate.
Fueling the Unit
■ Mixing fuel and engine fueling
must be done outside, and
where no other combustibles
are nearby.
■ Start the engine according to the
instructions in this manual. Start
the engine on a firm, stable
surface. Make sure the area is
clear of bystanders. Starting the
engine must be done by only
one person without any
assistance.
■ The cut-off wheel should not
rotate at engine idle. If it does,
reduce idle speed.
■ Never leave the unit running
unattended.
Before Operation (continued)
■ Before cutting into a material,
familiarize yourself with the
risks associated with dust,
fumes, or mists that may be
generated during operation.
Make sure you provide
adequate protection against
harmful emissions. A high-
performance respirator and/or
water attachment may be
required.
■ Do not use the cut-off saw to cut
or disturb asbestos or products
containing or wrapped in asbes-
tos. If you believe you might be
cutting asbestos, contact your
supervisor.
■ Open the fuel cap slowly to
release any possible build-up of
pressure.
■ Never refuel when the unit is hot.
Allow to cool before refueling.
■ Never fuel when the engine is
running.
■ After fueling, wipe all spilled fuel.
Cutting metal may cause sparks
from the cut-off wheel and may
ignite spilled fuel which could
result in serious injury.
