Safety Precautions - Stihl FW 20 Manual De Instrucciones

Safety Precautions

Special safety precau-
tions must be taken when
working with the FW 20 in
combination with a cut-off
machine.
It is important that you
read, fully understand
and observe the following
safety precautions and
warnings. Read the
instruction manuals and
safety instructions for the
cut-off machine and
FW 20 through again
from time to time. Care-
less or improper use of a
power tool can lead to
serious or even fatal
injuries.
Observe the national safety regulations
issued, e. g. by the employers' liability
insurance association, social security
institutions, occupational safety and
health authorities or other organizations.
The cut-off machine and FW 20 should
only be supplied or lent to people
familiar with this model and its operation.
The instruction manual should always
be issued with the machine.
If you have never used a cut-off machine
and cart before: have your STIHL dealer
or other specialist show you how to
operate the machine – or attend one of
the special training courses.
FW 20
WARNING
Minors should never be allowed to use
the cut-off machine and the FW 20.
Bystanders, especially children, and
animals should not be allowed in the
area! Never leave the cut-off machine
unattended while in operation.
WARNING
Never attempt to modify the machine in
any way since this may increase the risk
of personal injury. STIHL excludes all
liability for personal injury and damage
to property caused while using
unauthorized attachments. Even if
certain attachments which have not
been approved can be used on the cut-
off machine and FW 20, their use may
prove extremely dangerous.
Mounting the cut-off machine
WARNING
Only the corresponding attachment kit
may be used to mount the cut-off
machine on the FW 20. Other cut-off
machines must not be mounted – risk of
accidents due to the abrasive wheel
shattering following a loss of control!
The corresponding sections in the
instruction manuals must be observed
when assembling the machine and cart.
Before and after mounting, the FW 20
and the cut-off machine must be
checked to ensure they are in safe
working order. Check correct operation
of the operating elements (e. g. throttle
control, depth limiter) – note the
corresponding chapters in the
instruction manuals.
Refueling
The FW 20 be parked securely so that it
cannot tip over or roll away when
refueling the cut-off machine mounted
on the FW 20.
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel! If spilled
or ignited by a spark or
other ignition source, it
can cause fire and seri-
ous burn injury or
property damage. Use
extreme caution when
handling gasoline or fuel
mix. Keep away from
naked lights. No smok-
ing. Refueling is
described in the instruc-
tion manual for the cut-off
machine.
During Operation
Clear all obstacles from the cutting path,
as they may cause the abrasive wheel to
jam. This in turn may result in high
friction forces reducing the engine power
available for cutting. The FW 20 may
only be used to produce linear cuts.
WARNING
Do not work on uneven surfaces when
using a cut-off machine mounted on the
FW 20 – the FW 20 could tip over and
cause the abrasive wheel to shatter –
risk of injury!
