Engineering improvements
STIHL's philosophy is to continually 
improve all of its products. For this 
reason we may modify the design, 
engineering and appearance of our 
products periodically.
Therefore, some changes, modifications 
and improvements may not be covered 
in this manual.
Observe all applicable local safety 
regulations, e.g. by trade organizations, 
social insurance institutions, labor safety 
authorities etc.
If you have never used a power tool 
before: Have your dealer or other 
experienced user show you how to 
operate your machine – or attend a 
special course to learn how to operate it.
Minors should never be allowed to use 
the machine – except for apprentices 
over the age of 16 when working under

Children, animals and onlookers must 
remain at a safe distance.
When not using the machine, it must be
