high-speed, fast-cutting

precautions must be
observed to reduce the
risk of personal injury.
Most of these safety precautions and
warnings apply to the use of all STIHL
chainsaws. Different models may have
different parts and controls. See the
appropriate section of your instruction
manual for a description of the controls
and the function of the parts of your
model.
