1 Introduction
Thank you for your purchase. The information contained in
this manual will help you receive maximum performance and
satisfaction from your STIHL chain saw and, if followed,
reduce the risk of injury from its use.
SAVE THIS MANUAL!
Because a chain saw is a high-speed wood-
cutting tool, special safety precautions must be
observed to reduce the risk of personal injury.
Read this instruction manual thoroughly before
use and periodically thereafter. Follow all safety
precautions. Careless or improper use of the
chain saw can cause serious or fatal injury.
Have your authorized STIHL servicing dealer show you how
to operate your chain saw. All safety precautions that are
generally observed when working with an axe or a hand saw
also apply to the operation of chain saws. Observe all
applicable federal, state and local safety regulations,
standards and ordinances.
Do not lend or rent your chain saw without this instruction
manual. Allow only persons who have the proper training
and fully understand the information in this manual to
operate the chain saw.
For further information, or if you do not understand any of
the instructions in this manual, please go to
