4. Keep Children Away –
Do not let bystanders contact chain
saw. All bystanders should be kept
away from work area.
5. Store Idle Chain Saw Indoors –
When not in use, chain saws should
be stored indoors in a dry, and high
or locked-up place with battery
removed and chain brake engaged
(front hand guard on ƒ – out of

case.
6. Don't Force Chain Saw –
It will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.

Cut wood only.
Don't use chain saw for purpose not
intended – for example – don't use
chain saw for cutting plastic,
masonry, non-wood building
materials.

Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. They can be caught in
moving parts. Use of heavy-duty,
nonslip gloves and substantial

working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.

10. Carrying Saw –
Carry the chain saw by the front
handle with the saw stopped, finger
off the trigger switch, the guide bar
and saw chain to the rear. Do not
carry chain saw with battery
plugged in.
11. Maintain Chain Saw With Care –
Inspect chain saw periodically and if
damaged, have repaired by
authorized service facility. Keep
chain sharp and chain saw clean for
better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease.
12. Switch Off Chain Saw –
Remove battery and move front
hand guard to ƒ when chain saw is
not in use, before servicing and
when changing accessories and
attachments, such as saw chain or
guard.
13. Stay Alert –
Watch what you are doing. Use
common sense. Do not operate
chain saw when you are tired. Keep
all parts of the body away from the
saw chain when the motor is
operating. Before you start the saw,
make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything.
14. Check Damaged Parts –
Before further use of the chain saw,
a guard or other part that is
damaged or not functioning properly
should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other condition that may
affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by
your STIHL servicing dealer unless
indicated elsewhere in this manual.
Have damaged or non functioning
switches replaced by your STIHL
servicing dealer. Do not use chain
saw if switch does not turn it on and
off. Do not operate a chain saw that
is damaged, improperly adjusted, or
is not completely and securely
assembled. Be sure that the saw
chain stops moving when the trigger
switch is released.
15. Replacement Parts –
When servicing, use only identical
STIHL replacement parts
Warning!
Kickback may occur when the nose or
tip of the guide bar touches an object, or
when the wood closes in and pinches
the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in
some cases may cause a lightning fast
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar
up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of
the guide bar may push the guide bar
rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you
to lose control of the saw which could
result in serious personal injury.
The following precautions should be
followed to minimize kickback:
