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.
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.
Strictly follow the maintenance and
repair instructions in the appropriate
section of your instruction manual.
Please refer to the maintenance chart in
this manual.

Warning!
Logs under strain:
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.
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.
Warning!
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.
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.
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.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
STORING
Wear gloves when handling or
performing maintenance on saw chains.
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
