This Manual contains operating and
safety instructions for all STIHL 038
series power saws.
Pay special attention to the safety
precautions outlined on pages 4 to 21.
Allow only persons who understand this
Manual to operate your chain saw.
To receive maximum performance and
satisfaction from your STIHL chain saw,
itis important that you read and under-
stand the maintenance and safety
precautions before 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.
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
are made from time-to-time.
If the operating characteristics or the
appearance of your saw differs from
those described in this Manual,
please contact your STIHL dealer for
informations and assistance.
