WARNING
Never modify this chain saw in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or
expressly approved by STIHL for use
with the specific STIHL model are
authorized. Although certain
unauthorized attachments are useable
with STIHL chain saws, their use may, in
fact, be extremely dangerous.
WARNING
Never operate your chain saw if it is
damaged, improperly adjusted or
maintained, or not completely or
securely assembled.
If this chain saw is subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall),
always check that it is in good condition
before continuing work. Check in
particular that the fuel system is tight (no
leaks) and that the controls and safety
devices are working properly. Do not
continue operating this chain saw if it is
damaged. In case of doubt, have it
checked by your STIHL servicing dealer.
THE USE OF THE CHAIN SAW
Transporting the Chain Saw
WARNING
Always stop the engine before putting
the chain saw down. Carrying a chain
saw with the engine running may be
extremely dangerous.
6
Accidental acceleration of the engine
can cause the saw chain to rotate.
Always engage the chain brake when
taking more than a few steps.
By hand: When transporting your chain
saw by hand, the engine must be shut
off and the chain saw must be in the
proper position, i.e., grip the top handle
and place the muffler away from the
body; the chain guard (scabbard) should
be over the saw chain and guide bar,
which should point backwards, away
from the direction in which you are
walking.
By vehicle: When transporting in a
vehicle, keep saw chain and bar covered
with the chain guard (scabbard).
Properly secure your chain saw to
prevent turnover, fuel spillage and
damage to the chain saw.
Fuel
Your STIHL chain saw uses an oil-
gasoline mixture for fuel (see the
chapter on "Fuel" of your instruction
manual).
WARNING
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. If spilled
and 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. Do not smoke or
bring any fire or flame
near the fuel or the chain
saw. Note that combusti -
ble fuel vapor may
escape from the fuel
system.
Fueling Instructions
WARNING
Fuel your chain saw in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors. Always shut off the
engine and allow it to cool before
refueling. Gasoline vapor pressure may
build up inside the fuel tank depending
on the fuel used, the weather conditions
and the tank venting system.
In order to reduce the risk of burns and
other personal injury from escaping gas
vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler
cap on your chain saw carefully so as to
allow any pressure build-up in the tank
to release slowly. Never remove the fuel
filler cap while the engine is running.
