Allow only persons who fully understand this manual to operate your chain saw.

To receive maximum performance and satisfaction from your STIHL chain saw, it is important that you read, understand and follow the safety precautions and the operating and maintenance instructions in chapter "Safety

56Precautions and Working Techniques" before using your chain saw. For further information you can go to www.stihlusa.com.

58Contact your STIHL dealer or the STIHL

60distributor for your area if you do not understand any of the instructions in this manual.

Warning!

Because a chain saw 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.
