Stihl TS 500i Manual De Instrucciones página 7

Cut-off machine noise may damage your
hearing. Always wear sound barriers
(ear plugs or ear muffs) to help protect
your hearing. Regular users should have
their hearing checked regularly.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of seri-
ous or fatal respiratory
disease or other illness,
the operator and any
bystanders should
always wear a respirator
that is approved by
NIOSH for the material
being cut and appropriate
for worksite-specific con-
ditions anytime wet
cutting at the flow rate
recommended in this
instruction manual is not
utilized or cannot be con-
firmed. The respirator
must have an Assigned
Protection Factor suffi-
cient to provide the level
of respiratory protection
needed for the material
being cut and worksite-
specific conditions.
Even if wet cutting at the recommended
flow rate, an operator who is working
with the machine for more than two
hours in one day, along with any
bystanders, should always wear a
NIOSH-approved respirator that is rated
for the material being cut and
appropriate for worksite-specific
conditions.
Consult your employer for information
relating to the respirator needed for the
material you are cutting and your
TS 480i, TS 500i
worksite-specific conditions. Your
employer is likely to have in place an
OSHA-required respiratory protection
program and can provide information
regarding the type and level of
respiratory protection needed for your
worksite. Information also is available
from OSHA at www.OSHA.gov.
For additional details and warnings on
this subject, see information under
"Working Conditions" in this instruction
manual.
THE POWER TOOL
For illustrations and definitions of the
parts of the cut-off machine, see the
chapter "Main Parts."
WARNING
Never modify a cut-off machine in any
way. Only STIHL branded parts and
cutting attachments expressly approved
by STIHL for use with the specific STIHL
cut-off machine models are
recommended. Although certain other
parts or attachments may be useable,
their use may be extremely dangerous.
Abrasive Cutting Wheels
WARNING
Before mounting the cutting wheel,
make sure that the maximum operating
wheel speed is above or equal to the
spindle speed of your cut-off machine as
provided in the specifications of this
manual. A wheel that is not rated for the
maximum spindle speed of the cut-off
machine may shatter or break and
poses a threat of serious or fatal injury to
the operator and other nearby persons.
WARNING
Never use a reducer bushing inserted
into the wheel to reduce the diameter of
the arbor hole. It may slip out of place,
causing out-of-roundness, vibration,
wheel breakage or loss of control,
resulting in the possibility of severe or
fatal injury.
WARNING
Wheels that are not STIHL branded may
be more likely to wobble, shatter, break
and/or create other hazards, such as
increased reactive forces. Use only
wheels with approved RPM ratings.
Read and follow any additional safety
precautions that accompany the wheel.
