► If the saw chain is blocked by an object:
Switch off the garden pruner and remove
the battery. Then remove the object caus‐
ing the blockage.
■ The rotating chain becomes hot and expands.
If the chain is not lubricated sufficiently or not
re-tensioned at regular intervals, it may come
off the guide bar or break. This can result in
serious injuries and damage to property.
► Use STIHL Multioil Bio or an equivalent bio‐
degradable multifunctional oil.
► Lubricate the saw chain after every break to
recharge the battery.
► Check chain tension regularly during cutting
work. If chain tension is insufficient: Ten‐
sion the chain.
■ The guide bar, saw chain and chain sprocket
can become hot during operation. There is a
risk of burn injuries.
► Do not touch the hot guide bar, saw chain
or chain sprocket.
► Wait for the guide bar, saw chain and chain
sprocket to cool down.
► Wear work gloves made of durable mate‐
rial.
■ If the behavior of the garden pruner changes
during operation or feels unusual, it may no
longer be in a safe condition. This can result in
serious injuries and damage to property.
► Stop work, remove the battery and contact
your STIHL servicing dealer for assistance.
■ Vibrations may occur while using the garden
pruner.
► Wear gloves.
► Take regular breaks.
► If signs of circulation problems occur: Seek
medical advice.
■ Sparks may occur if the rotating chain makes
contact with a hard object. Sparks may cause
a fire in an easily combustible location. This
can result in serious or fatal injuries and dam‐
age to property.
► Do not work in an easily combustible loca‐
tion.
■ Note that the saw chain continues to rotate for
a short period after you release the trigger.
The rotating saw chain can cut the user. This
can result in serious injuries.
► Wait for the chain to come to a standstill.
DANGER

accidental contact with the chain and damage
the cables. This can result in serious or fatal
