Important adjustments
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injury from breathing toxic fumes, never
run the chainsaw indoors or in poorly
ventilated locations. Ensure proper venti-
lation when working in trenches or other
confined areas.
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
with the starting throttle lock engaged
will be fast enough for the clutch to
engage the sprocket and, if the chain-
brake is not activated, turn the chain.
If the upper quadrant of the tip of the bar
touches any object, it may cause kick-
back to occur (see section on reactive
forces). To reduce this risk, always
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 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.

Warning!
Use of this product (including sharpen-
ing the saw chain) can generate dust,
mists and fumes containing chemicals
known to cause respiratory disease, can-
cer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. If you are unfamiliar with the risks
associated with the particular dust, mist
or fume at issue, consult your employer,
governmental agencies such as OSHA
and NIOSH and other sources on hazar-
dous materials. California and some
other authorities, for instance, have pub-
lished lists of substances known to cause
cancer, reproductive toxicity, etc.
engage the chain brake before starting.
Never attempt to start the chainsaw
when the guide bar is in a cut or kerf.
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.

Warning!
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
Working Conditions
Operate the chainsaw under good
visibility and daylight conditions only.
Control dust (such as sawdust), mists
(such as oli mist from chain lubrication)
and fumes at the source where possible.
In this regard use good work practices
and follow the recommendations of
OSHA / NIOSH and occupational and
trade associations. When the inhalation
of toxic dust, mists and fumes cannot be
properly. Failure to follow this procedure
may result in injury to hand or fingers
and may damage the starter mechanism.
!Warning!
Your chainsaw produces
poisonous exhaust fumes
as soon as the combusti-
ble engine is running.
These gases (e.g. carbon
monoxide) may be colorless and odor-
less.
