Cut only one log at a time.
Shattered wood should be cut very 
carefully. Sharp slivers of wood may be 
caught and flung in the direction of the 
operator of the saw.
When cutting small logs, place log 
through "V"-shaped supports on top of a 
sawhorse. Never permit another person 
to hold the log. Never hold the log with 
your leg or foot.
Logs under strain:
Risk of pinching! Always start relieving 
cut (1) at compression side.Then make 
bucking cut (2) at tension side. If the saw 
pinches, stop the engine and remove it 
from the log.
Only properly trained professionals 
should work in an area where the logs, 
limbs and roots are tangled. Working in 
"blow down" areas is extremely 
hazardous. Drag the logs into a clear 
area before cutting. Pull out exposed 
and cleared logs first.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND 
STORING
Maintenance, replacement, or repair 
of the emission control devices and 
systems may be performed by any 
nonroad engine repair establishment 
or individual. However, if you make a 
warranty claim for a component 
which has not been serviced or 
maintained properly or if 
nonapproved replacement parts were 
used, STIHL may deny coverage.
Strictly follow the maintenance and 
repair instructions in the appropriate 
section of your instruction manual. 
Please refer to the maintenance chart in 
this manual.
Wear gloves when handling or 
performing maintenance on saw chains.
Warning!
When bucking, do not stand on the log. 
Make sure the log will not roll downhill. If 
on a slope, stand on the uphill side of 
the log. Watch out for rolling logs.
Warning!
Use only identical STIHL replacement 
parts for maintenance and repair. Use of 
non-STIHL parts may cause serious or 
fatal injury.
Warning!
Always stop the engine and make sure 
that the cutting tool is stopped before 
doing any maintenance or repair work or 
cleaning the power tool.
Warning!
Do not attempt any maintenance or 
repair work not described in your 
instruction manual. Have such work per-
formed by your STIHL servicing dealer 
only. For example, if improper tools are 
used to remove the flywheel or if an 
improper tool is used to hold the fly-
wheel in order to remove the clutch, 
structural damage to the flywheel could 
occur and could subsequently cause the 
flywheel to burst.
