Always change the chain, guide bar and
sprocket in good time.
Check condition of clutch drum
periodically.
Check the fuel tank for leaks at short
regular intervals.
Do not touch a hot muffler. Check
condition of muffler at regular intervals to
reduce the risk of fires and damage to
hearing. Do not operate your machine if
the muffler is damaged or missing.
Use only a spark plug of the type
approved by STIHL and make sure it is
in good condition (see chapter
“Specifications”). Inspect ignition lead
(insulation in good condition, secure
connection).
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury
as a result of sparking outside the
cylinder, move the stop switch to STOP
before turning the engine over on the
starter with the spark plug boot removed
or the spark plug unscrewed.
Store fuel and chain lubricant in properly
labelled, safety-type canisters only. Take
care when handling gasoline. Avoid
direct contact with the skin and avoid
inhaling fuel vapour.
To reduce the risk of injury, shut down
your chainsaw immediately in the event
of a chain brake malfunction.
Take the saw to your STIHL dealer. Do
not use your chainsaw until the fault has
been fixed (see chapter “Chain Brake”).
Cutting
Use your saw for cutting wood or
wooden objects only.
Do not operate your chainsaw with the
starting throttle lock engaged. Engine
speed cannot be controlled with the
throttle trigger in this position.
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good – ensure you do not endanger
others – stay alert at all times.
Use the shortest possible guide bar: The
chain, guide bar and chain sprocket
must match each other and your saw.
Always hold your saw firmly with both
hands - right hand on the rear handle,
even if you are left-handed. To ensure
safe control, wrap your fingers tightly
around the front handle and control
handle.
