may

cause

serious

or

even

fatal

injury.

STIHL’s

philosophy

is

to

continually

improve

all

of

its

products.

As

a

result,

engineering

SoS

Safety

Precautions

The

use

of

any

chainsaw

may

be

hazardous.

The

saw

chain

has

many

sharp

cutters.

if

the

cut-

ters

contact

your

flesh,

they

will

cut

you,

even

if

the

chain

is

not

moving.

At

full

throttle,

the

chain

speed

can

reach

45

mph

(20

m/s).

It

is

impor-

tant

that

you

read,

fully

understand

and

observe

the

following

safety

precautions

and

wamings.

Read

the

Owner’s

Manual

and

the

safety

instructions

periodically.

Pay

special

attention

to

the

section

on

reactive

forces.

Warning!

Reactive

forces,

including

kickback,

can

be

dangerous.

Careless

or

improper

use

of

any

chainsaw

may

cause

serious

or

fatal

injury.

All

safety

precautions

that

are

generally

observed

when

working

with

an

axe

or

a

hand

saw

also

apply

to

the

operation

of

chainsaws.

However,

because

a

chain-

saw

is

a

high-speed,

fast-cutting

power

tool,

special

safety

precautions

must

be

observed

to

reduce

the

risk

of

personal

injury.

Have

your

STIHL

dealer

show

you

how

to

operate

your

chainsaw.

Observe

all

applicable

local

safety

regulations,

standards

and

ordinances.

Warning!

Minors

should

never

be

allowed

to

use

a

chainsaw.

Bystanders,

especially

4

000BA036

LA

children,

and

animals

should

not

be

allowed

in

the

area

where

a

chainsaw

is

in

use.

Never

let

the

saw

run

unattended.

Store

it

in

a

locked

place

away

from

children

and

empty

the

fuel

tank

before

storing

for

longer

than

a

few

days.

Do

not

lend

or

rent

your

chainsaw

without

the

Owner's

Manual.

Be

sure

that

anyone

using

your

saw

reads

and

under-

stands

the

information

contained

in

this

manual.

These

safety

precautions

and

warnings

apply

to

the

use

of

all

STIHL

chainsaws.

Different

models

may

have

different

parts

and

controls.

See

the

appropriate

000BA037

LA

section

of

your

Owner’s

Manual

for

a

description

of

the

controls

and

function

of

the

parts

of

your

model

saw.

Safe

use

of

a

chainsaw

involves

1.

the

operator

2.

the

saw

3.

the

use

of

the

saw.

THE

OPERATOR

Physical

Condition

You

must

be

in

good

physical

condition

and

mental

health

and

not

under

the

influence

of

any

substance

(drugs,

alcohol)

which

might

impair

vision,

dexterity

or

judgment.

Do

not

operate

a

chainsaw

when

you

are

fatigued.

Be

alert

—

If

you

get

tired

while

operating

your

chainsaw,

take

a

break.

Tiredness

may

result

in

loss

of

control.

Working

with

any

chainsaw

can

be

strenuous.

If

you

have

any

condition

that

might

be

aggravated

by

strenuous

work,

check

with

your

doctor

before

operating

a

chainsaw.

Warning!

Prolonged

use

of

chainsaws

(or

other

machines)

exposing

the

operator

to

vibrations

may

produce

whitefinger

disease

(Raynaud's

phenomenon)

or

carpal

tunnel

syndrome.

These

conditions

reduce

the

hand

’s

ability

to

feel

and

regulate

temperature,

produce

numb-

ness

and

burning

sensations

and

may

cause

nerve

and

circulation

damage

and

tissue

necrosis.

Many

STIHL

models

are

available

with

an

anti-vibration

(AV)

system

designed

to

reduce

the

transmission

of

vibrations

created

by

the

engine

and

cutting

attachment

to

the

operator’s

hands.

An

anti-vibration

system

is

recommended

for

those

using

chainsaws

on

a

regular

or

sustained

basis.

Heated

handles

help

to

reduce

the

risk

of

whitefinger

disease

and

are

recommen-

ded

for

cold

weather

use.

Most

STIHL

powerheads

are

available

with

heated

handles.

The

second

recommended

method

for

starting

your

chainsaw

allows

you

to

start

the

saw

without

placing

it

on

the

ground.

Engage

the

chain

brake,

grip

the

front

handle

of

the

chainsaw

firmly

with

your

left

hand.

Keep

the

arm

on

the

front

handle

in

a

locked

(straight)

position.

Hold

the

rear

handle

of

the

saw

tightly

between

your

legs

just

above

the

knees.

Maintain

good

balance

and

secure

footing.

Pull

the

starting

grip

slowly

with

your

right

hand

until

you

feel

a

definite

resistance

and

then

give

it

a

brisk,

strong

pull.

Warning!

Be

sure

that

the

guide

bar

and

chain

are

clear

of

you

and

all

other

obstructions

and

objects,

including

the

ground.

When

the

engine

is

started,

the

engine

speed

8

with

the

starting

throttle

lock

engaged

will

be

fast

enough

for

the

clutch

to

engage

the

sprocket

and

turn

the

chain.

If

the

upper

quadrant

of

the

bar

nose

touches

any

object,

it

may

cause

kick-

back

to

occur

(see

section

on

reactive

forces).

To

reduce

this

risk,

always

engage

the

chain

brake

before

starting.

Never

attempt

to

start

the

chainsaw

when

the

guide

bar

is in

a

cut

or

kerf.

When

you

pull

the

starter

grip,

do

not

wrap

the

starting

rope

around

your

hands.

Do

not

allow

the

grip

to

snap

back,

but

guide

the

starter

rope

slowly

back

to

permit

the

rope

to

rewind

properly.

Failure

to

follow

this

procedure

may

result

in

injury

to

hand

or

fingers

and

may

damage

the

starter

mechanism.

Important

adjustments

Warning!

To

reduce

the

risk

of

personal

injury

from

loss

of

control

or

contact

with

the

running

chain,

do

not

use

a

saw

with

incorrect

idle

adjustment.

At

correct

idle

speed,

the

chain

should

not

rotate.

For

directions

on

how

to

adjust

idle

speed,

see

the

appropriate

section

of

your

Owner's

Manual.

If

you

cannot

set

the

correct

idle

speed,

have

your

STIHL

dealer

check

your

saw

and

make

proper

adjustments

or

repairs.

After

adjusting

a

chain,

start

the

saw,

let

the

engine

run

for

a

while,

then

switch

engine

off

and

recheck

chain

tension.

Proper

chain

tension

is

very

important

at

all

times.

Working

Conditions

Operate

your

chainsaw

outdoors

only

in

a

ventilated

area,

even

if

your

chainsaw

is

equipped

with

a

catalytic

converter.

The

muffler

and

other

parts

of

the

engine

(e.g.

fins

of

the

cylinder,

spark

plug)

become

hot

during

operation

and

remain

hot

for

awhile

after

stopping

the

engine.

To

reduce

risk

of

burns

do

not

touch

the

muffler

and

other

parts

while

they

are

hot.

Operate

the

saw

under

good

visibility

and

daylight

conditions

only.

Don’t

work

alone.

Keep

within

calling

distance

of

others

in

case

help

is

needed.

Your

chainsaw

is

equipped

with

a

chain

catcher.

It

is

designed

to

reduce

the

risk

of

personal

injury

in

the

event

of

a

thrown

or

broken

chain.

From

time

to

time

the

catcher

may

be

damaged

or

removed

.

To

reduce

the

risk

of

personal

injury,

do

not

operate

a

chainsaw

with

a

damaged

or

missing

catcher.

Inspect

buffers

periodically.

Replace

damaged,

broken

or

excessively

worn

buffers

immediately,

since

they

may

result

in

loss

of

control

of

the

saw.

A'sponginess'

in

the

feel

of

the

saw,

increased

vibration

or

increased

"bottoming"

during

normal

operation

may

indicate

damage,

breakage

or

excessive

wear.

Buffers

should

always

be

replaced

in

sets.

If

you

have

any

questions

as

to

whether

the

buffers

should

be

replaced,

consult

your

STIHL

servicing

dealer.
