Warning!
The saw chain continues to move for a
short period after the throttle trigger is
released (flywheel effect).
Accelerating the engine while the saw
chain is blocked increases the load and
will cause the clutch to slip continuously.
This may occur if the throttle is
depressed for more than a few seconds
when the chain is pinched in the cut or
the chain brake is engaged. It can result
in overheating and damage to important
components (e.g. clutch, polymer
housing components) – which can then
increase the risk of injury, e.g., from the
saw chain moving while the engine is
idling.
!
Warning!
Your chainsaw is equipped with a chain
catcher. It is designed to reduce the risk
of personal injury in the event of a
thrown or broken chain. From time to
time, the catcher may be damaged or
removed. To reduce the risk of personal
injury, do not operate a chainsaw with a
damaged or missing chain catcher.

Warning!
Inspect buffers periodically. Replace
damaged, broken or excessively worn
buffers immediately, since they may
result in loss of control of the saw. A
"sponginess" in the feel of the saw,
increased vibration or increased
"bottoming" during normal operation
may indicate damage, breakage or
excessive wear. Buffers should always
be replaced in sets. If you have any
questions as to whether the buffers
should be replaced, consult your STIHL
servicing dealer.
!
Warning!
Your saw is not designed for prying or
shoveling away limbs, roots or other
objects. Such use could damage the
cutting attachment or AV system.
!
Warning!
When sawing, make sure that the saw
chain does not touch any foreign
materials such as rocks, fences, nails
and the like. Such objects may be flung
off, damage the saw chain or cause the
saw to kickback.
!
Warning!
The muffler and other parts of the engine
(e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug)
become hot during operation and remain
hot for a while after stopping the engine.
To reduce risk of burns do not touch the
muffler and other parts while they are
hot.

!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
keep the area around the muffler clean.
Remove excess lubricant and all debris
such as pine needles, branches or
leaves. Let the engine cool down sitting
on concrete, metal, bare ground or solid
wood (e.g. the trunk of a felled tree)
away from any combustible substances.
!
Warning!
Never modify your muffler. A modified or
damaged muffler could cause an
increase in heat radiation or sparks,
thereby increasing the risk of fire and
burn injury. You may also permanently
damage the engine. Have your muffler
serviced and repaired by your STIHL
servicing dealer only.
Catalytic converter
!
Warning!
Some STIHL power tools
are equipped with a
catalytic converter, which
is designed to reduce the
exhaust emissions of the
engine by a chemical
process in the muffler. Due to this
process, the muffler does not cool down
as rapidly as conventional mufflers when
the engine returns to idle or is shut off.
To reduce the risk of fire and burn
injuries, the following specific safety
precautions must be observed.
