Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Chainsaws equipped with Easy2Start*
can be started with less effort at a lower
cranking speed.
Because a chainsaw is a
high-speed, fast-cutting
power tool, special safety
precautions must be
observed to reduce the
risk of personal injury.

without the instruction manual. Be sure

any other purposes, since such misuse

Warning!
Have your STIHL dealer show you how
to operate your power tool. All safety
precautions that are generally observed
when working with an axe or a hand saw
also apply to the operation of chainsaws.
Observe all applicable federal, state and
local safety regulations, standards and
ordinances. When using a chain saw for
logging purposes, for instance, refer to
the OSHA regulations for “logging
operations“ at 29 Code of Federal
Regulations 1910.266.
Minors should never be allowed to use
this power tool. Bystanders, especially
children, and animals should not be
allowed in the area where it is in use.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury to bystanders
and damage to property, never let your
power tool run unattended. When it is
not in use (e.g. during a work break),
shut it off and make sure that
unauthorized persons do not use it.
