Never modify this power tool in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or
expressly approved by STIHL for use

fact, be extremely dangerous.
Always switch off the engine, and fit the

unless wearing goggles
or properly fitted protec-

applicable national standard). To
reduce the risk of injury to your face
STIHL recommends that you also wear
a face shield or face screen over your
goggles or protective glasses.
If this tool is subjected to unusually high
loads for which it was not designed (e.g.
heavy impact or a fall), always check
that it is in good condition before
continuing work. Check in particular that
the fuel system is tight (no leaks) and
that the controls and safety devices are
working properly. Do not continue
operating this machine if it is damaged.
In case of doubt, have it checked by your
STIHL servicing dealer.
Wear an approved safety hard hat to
reduce the risk of injury to your head
when there is a danger of head injuries.
Chain saw noise may damage your
hearing. Wear sound barriers (ear plugs
or ear mufflers) to protect your hearing.
Continual and regular users should
have their hearing checked regularly.
It may be carried only in a horizontal
position. Grip the front handle in a
manner that the machine is balanced
horizontally. Keep the hot muffler away
from your body and the cutting
attachment behind you.
THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL

wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
