Allow only persons who understand this Manual to operate your chainsaw.

To receive maximum performance and satisfaction from your STIHL chainsaw, it is important that you read and understand the maintenance and safety precautions, starting on page 3, before using your chainsaw.

Contact your STIHL dealer or the STIHL distributor for your area if you do not understand any of the instructions in this Manual.

!Warning!

Because a chainsaw is a high-speed wood-cutting tool, some special safety precautions must be observed as with any other power saw to reduce the risk of personal injury.

Careless or improper use may cause serious or even fatal injury.

STIHL's philosophy is to continually improve all of its products. As a result, engineering changes and improvements are made from time-to-time. If the operating characteristics or the appearance of your chainsaw differs from those described in this Manual, please contact your STIHL dealer for information and assistance.
