Stihl 024 Series - Operating Instructions

This Manual contains operating and safety instructions for
all
STIHL 024
series power saws.
Pay special attention to the safety precautions
outlined on
the inside cover and on pages 4 to 23. Allow
only persons
who 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 and
understand the
maintenance and safety precautions be-
fore using your saw. Contact your
STIHL dealer
or
the
STIHL
distributor
for your area if you do not
understand
any of the instructions
in
this Manual.
Because a chain saw is a high-speed wood-cutting
tool,
some
special safety precautions
must be
observed as wi-
thany other power
saw to reduce the risk of
personal inju-
ries. Careless
or improper use may cause
serious or even
fatal injury.
STIHI2s philosophy
is to continually
improve all of its pro-
ducts. As a result,
engineering changes
and
improve-
ments
are made
from time-to-time.
If the operating
cha-
racteristics
or the appearance of your saw
differs from
those described in this Manual, please contact
your STIHL
dealer for information and assistance.
