!Warning!
Never modify a chainsaw in any way. Only attachments and parts supplied by STIHL or expressly approved by STIHL for use with the specific STIHL saw models are authorized. Although certain unauthorized attachments are usable with the STIHL powerhead, their use may, in fact, be extremely dangerous.

By hand: When carrying the chain saw by hand, it must be switched off and the saw held in the proper position, i.e. it should be gripped by the front handle. The chain guard must be fitted, even when carrying the saw only a short distance, and the guide bar must point backwards, away from the direction in which you are going.
Do not carry the machine by the power cable. Carry the cable in your hand. If the cable is dragged on a rough surface (concrete etc.) the cable may become damaged.
By vehicle: The chain guard must be fitted on the guide bar when transporting the saw in a vehicle. The saw should be secured so that it cannot move and become damaged, or cause damage.
Preparation for the use of the saw
Always disconnect the plug when the saw is not in use. Take off the chain guard and inspect for safety in operation. Insure that the trigger switch will not engage when the trigger interlock is not pressed. For assembly, follow the procedure described in the chapter "Mounting the Bar and Chain" of your Owner's Manual.
STIHL Oilomatic chain, guide bar and sprocket must match each other in gauge and pitch.
Before replacing any bar and chain, see the sections on "Specifications", "Kickback" and the "ANSI B
