Warning!
When cutting metal, a cut-off machine
generates sparks that can ignite
clothing. Most fabrics used in clothing
are flammable - even flame-retardant
fabrics will ignite at higher temperatures.
To reduce the risk of burn injury STIHL
recommends wearing clothing made of
leather, wool, flame-retardant-treated
cotton or a tightly woven, heavier cotton
such as denim. Some flame-retardant
synthetic fabrics are also suitable but
others such as polyester, nylon, rayon
and acetate can melt during a fire into a
tar-like matter that burns into the skin.
Check the clothing manufacturer's
instructions. Keep clothing free of oil,
fuel, grease and other flammable
substances.
Always wear gloves when
handling the cut-off
machine. Heavy-duty,
nonslip gloves improve
your grip and help to
protect your hands.
TS 400
Good footing is most
important in cut-off
machine work.
Wear sturdy boots with
nonslip soles. Steel-toed
safety boots are recommended.
!
Warning!
Loose objects may be thrown toward the
operator by the cutting tool.
To reduce the risk of injury
to your eyes never
operate a cut-off machine
unless wearing goggles or
properly fitted safety
glasses with adequate top
and side protection complying with
ANSI Z 87.1. Proper eye protection is a
must.
Wear an approved safety hard hat to
protect your head. Cut-off machine
noise may damage your hearing. Always
wear sound barriers (ear plugs or ear
mufflers) to help protect your hearing.
Regular users should have their hearing
checked regularly.

Warning!
When wet cutting is not
utilized, the operator
should always wear a
respirator approved by
NIOSH/MSHA for the
material being cut to
reduce the risk of serious or fatal
respiratory illness. For additional details
and warnings on this subject, see
information under "Working Conditions"
in this instruction manual.
THE CUT-OFF MACHINE
For illustrations and definitions of the
parts of the cut-off machine, see "Main
parts of the machine."
!
Warning!
Never modify a cut-off machine in any
way. Only attachments supplied by
STIHL or expressly approved by STIHL
for use with the specific STIHL cut-off
machine models are authorized.
Although certain unauthorized
attachments are useable with the STIHL
powerhead, their use may, in fact, be
extremely dangerous.
