Allow only persons who fully understand

44 this Manual to operate your chain saw.

48 To receive maximum performance and

50satisfaction from your STIHL chain saw,

52it is important that you read and understand and follow the maintenance

53and safety precautions in chapter

53"Safety Precautions and Working

54Techniques" before using your chain saw. For further information you can go to www.stihlusa.com.

54 Contact your STIHL dealer or the STIHL

56distributor 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.

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