!Warning! When cutting woody materials, use the left side of the blade to avoid "kickout" (blade thrust) situations. !Warning! Improper use of a brush knife may cause it to crack, chip or shatter. Thrown parts may seriously injure the operator or bystanders. To reduce the risk of personal injury it is essential to take the following precautions: Avoid contact with hard or solid foreign objects such as stones, rocks or pieces of metal. Never cut wood or shrubs with a stem diameter of more than 2 cm (3/4") - use a circular saw blade for such work. Inspect the brush knife at regular short intervals for signs of damage. Do not continue working with a damaged brush knife. Resharpen the brush knife regularly (when it has dulled noticeably). !Warning! When cutting young saplings or other woody materials up to 2 cm (3/4") in diameter, use left side of the blade to avoid "kickout" situations (see appropriate section in this manual). Do not attempt to cut woody material with a larger diameter, since the blade may catch or jerk the clearing saw forward. This may cause damage to the blade or clearing saw or loss of control of the clearing saw, resulting in personal injury. 000BA020 KN 002BA066 KN E n gl is h / U S A 000BA016 KN When the clearing saw with circular saw blade is used to cut down small trees, STIHL recommends that the standard deflector be removed and replaced by the special "stop" ( see chapter " circular saw blade" for mounting instructions). This stop helps to keep the clearing saw positioned against the tree during the cutting process. Inexperienced users should place the left side of the stop against the tree trunk before beginning to cut. This will keep the clearing saw against the tree during the cutting operation and will reduce the risk of loss of control and possible kickout (described in the following section). ! Warning! In order to reduce the risk of injury from thrown objects or from operator contact 000BA012 KN Using the circular saw blade Circular saw blades are suitable for thinning brush and cutting small trees up to a diameter of 4 cm (1 9/16") . Do not attempt to cut trees with larger diameters, since the blade may catch or jerk the clearing saw forward. This may cause damage to the blade or loss of control of the clearing saw which may result in serious injury. with the cutting tool, be sure to remount the standard deflector for all other uses. Before starting the cut, accelerate the engine up to full throttle. Perform cut with uniform pressure. STIHL recommends that the circular saw blade be applied to the right of the tree, using the non-shaded area of the blade. ! Warning! The risk of kickout is highest when cutting in the darker shaded area. To reduce the risk of kickout and resulting injury, do not use this area of the circular saw blade for cutting trees or shrubs. Special techniques using the lighter shaded areas of the blade to cut shrubs and trees should only be used by experienced operators with specialized training in use and control of the clearing saw. FS 300, FS 350, FS 400, FS 450, FS 480 English / USA Risk of " kickout" (blade thrust) with all rigid cutting blades 002BA135 KN ! Warning! Kickout (blade thrust) is the sudden and uncontrolled motion towards the operator's right or rear that can occur when the shaded area of the rotating blade comes in contact with a solid object like a tree, rock, bush or wall. The rapid counterclockwise rotation of the blade may be stopped or slowed, and the cutting attachment may be thrown in an area to the right or to the rear. This kickout ( blade thrust) may cause loss of control of the clearing saw and may result in serious or fatal injury to the operator or bystanders. To reduce the risk of injury, extreme caution should be used when cutting with the shaded area of any rigid blade.
