THE USE OF THE SAW
Transporting the chainsaw
!
Warning!
Always stop the engine before putting a
chainsaw down or carrying it. Carrying a
chainsaw with the engine running is
extremely dangerous.
Accidental acceleration of the engine
can cause the chain to rotate. During
operation, the powerhead muffler and
the material around it reach extremely
high temperatures. Avoid touching the
hot muffler, you could receive serious
burns.
By hand: When carrying your saw by
hand, the engine must be stopped and
the saw must be in the proper position.
Grip the front handle and place the
muffler away from the body.
English / USA
The chain guard (scabbard) should be
over the chain and the guide bar, which
should point backwards. When carrying
your saw, the bar should be behind you.
By vehicle: When transporting in a
vehicle, keep chain and bar covered with
the chain guard. Properly secure your
saw to prevent turnover, fuel spillage
and damage to the saw or vehicle.
Preparation for the use of the saw
Take off the chain guard and inspect for
safety in operation. For assembly, follow
the procedure described in the chapter
"Mounting the Bar and Chain" of your
Owner's Manual.
STIHL Oilomatic chain, guide bar and
sprocket must match each other in
gauge and pitch.
Before replacing any bar and chain, see
the sections on "Specifications",
