WARNING!
Figure 1. Start the engine at least
3 meters from a fueling location.
Starting The Engine
Start the engine at least 3
meters 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 fuel-
ing 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 assis-
tance.
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 mate-
rial, familiarize yourself with
the risks associated with dust,
fumes, or mists that may
be generated during opera-
tion. 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 asbestos.
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 run-
ning.
After fueling, wipe all spilled fuel.
Cutting metal may cause sparks
from the cut-off wheel and may ig-
nite spilled fuel which could result
in serious injury.
