Warning!

When bucking, do not stand on the log. Make sure the log will not roll downhill. If on a slope, stand on the uphill side of the log. Watch out for rolling logs.

Cut only one log at a time.

Shattered wood should be cut very carefully. Sharp slivers of wood may be caught and flung in the direction of the operator of the saw.

When cutting small logs, place log through "V"-shaped supports on top of a sawhorse. Never permit another person to hold the log. Never hold the log with your leg or foot.

Logs under strain:

Risk of pinching! Always start relieving cut (1) at compression side.Then make bucking cut (2) at tension side. If the saw pinches, stop the engine and remove it from the log.

Only properly trained professionals should work in an area where the logs, limbs and roots are tangled. Working in "blow down" areas is extremely hazardous. Drag the logs into a clear area before cutting. Pull out exposed and cleared logs first.

MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND STORING

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any nonroad engine repair establishment or individual. However, if you make a warranty claim for a component which has not been serviced or

maintained properly or if nonapproved replacement parts were used, STIHL may deny coverage.

Warning!

Use only identical STIHL replacement parts for maintenance and repair. Use of non-STIHL parts may cause serious or fatal injury.

Strictly follow the maintenance and repair instructions in the appropriate section of your instruction manual.

Please refer to the maintenance chart in this manual.

Warning!

Always stop the engine and make sure that the cutting tool is stopped before doing any maintenance or repair work or cleaning the power tool.

Warning!

Do not attempt any maintenance or repair work not described in your instruction manual. Have such work performed by your STIHL servicing dealer only. For example, if improper tools are used to remove the flywheel or if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could occur and could subsequently cause the flywheel to burst.

Wear gloves when handling or performing maintenance on saw chains.
