Do not lend or rent your chain saw
without the instruction manual. Be sure
that anyone using it understands the
information contained in this manual.
To operate a chain saw you must be
rested, in good physical condition and
mental health. If you have any condition
that might be aggravated by strenuous
work, check with your doctor before
operating a chain saw.
Do not operate the chain saw if you are
under the influence of any substance
(drugs, alcohol) which might impair
vision, dexterity or judgment.
To reduce the risk of accidents or injury,
put off the work in poor weather
conditions (rain, snow, ice, wind).
Remove the battery from
the power tool:
before carrying out inspections,
–
adjustments or cleaning work
when working on the cutting
–
attachment
before leaving your chain saw
–
unattended
before transporting
–
before storing
–
before performing repairs and
–
maintenance work
in the event of danger or in an
–
emergency
This avoids the risk of the motor starting
unintentionally.

Intended Use
The chainsaw may be used for cutting
wood and wooden objects only. It is
particularly suitable for cutting firewood
and other woodworking projects close to
the house.
It must not be used for any other
purpose because of the increased risk of
accidents.
Never attempt to modify your saw 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.
Clothing and Equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Clothing must be sturdy
but allow complete free-
dom of movement. Wear
snug-fitting clothing with
cut retardant inserts – do
not wear a work coat.
Avoid clothing that could get caught on
branches or brush or moving parts of the
saw. Do not wear a scarf, necktie or
jewelry. Tie up and confine long hair
(e.g. with a hair net, cap, hard hat, etc.).
Wear steel-toed safety
boots with cut retardant
inserts and non-slip
soles.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of eye
injuries, wear snug-fitting
safety glasses in accord-
ance with European
Standard EN 166. Make
sure the safety glasses
are a good fit.
Wear a face shield and make sure it is a
good fit. A face shield alone does not
provide adequate eye protection.
Hearing protection is recommended if
your daily working time is more than
2.5 hours.
Wear a safety hard hat with chin strap
where there is a danger of head injuries
from falling objects.
Wear heavy-duty work
gloves made of durable
material (e.g. leather).
STIHL offers a comprehensive range of
personal protective clothing and
equipment.
Transport
Before transport – even over shorter
distances – always switch off the chain
saw, set the hand guard to ƒ and
remove the battery. This avoids the risk
of the engine starting unintentionally. Fit
the chain scabbard.
