//_ Warning!
Wear an approved safety
hard hat to reduce the risk
of injury to your head.
Chainsaw noise may
damage your hearing.
Wear sound barriers (ear
plugs or ear mufflers) to help protect
your hearing. Continual and regular
users should have their hearing checked
regularly.
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.)is restricted.
Never operate your power tool unless
wearing goggles or properly fitted
protective glasses with adequate top
and side protection complying with ANSI
Z 87.1 (or your applicable national
standard). To reduce the risk of injury to
your face STIHL recommends that you
also wear a face shield or face screen
over your goggles or protective glasses.
Always wear gloves when
handling the machine and
the cutting tool. Heavy-
duty, nonslip gloves
improve your grip and
help to protect your
hands.
STIHL offers a wide range of protective
clothing and equipment.
THE POWER TOOL
For illustrations and definitions of the
power tool parts see the chapter on
"Main Parts and Controls."
//_ Warning!
Never modify this power tool in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or
expressly approved by STIHL for use

fact, be extremely dangerous.
If this tool 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 machine if it is damaged.
In case of doubt, have it checked by your
STIHL servicing dealer.
