English
disconnect the plug from the power
supply before attempting to free the
obstruction – risk of injury.
Before leaving your saw, switch it off,
move the hand guard to ƒ and
disconnect the plug from the wall outlet
to reduce the risk of the motor starting
unintentionally.
To replace the saw chain, switch off the
chainsaw, move hand guard to ƒ and
disconnect the plug from the wall outlet.
This avoids the risk of injury from the
motor starting unintentionally.
Your power tool is equipped with a
system designed to quickly stop the saw
chain – it comes to an immediate
standstill as soon as you release the
trigger switch – see "Coasting Brake".
Check this function at regular short
intervals. Do not operate your chainsaw
if the chain continues to run after you
release the trigger switch – see
"Coasting Brake" – risk of injury. Contact
your servicing dealer.
Never operate your saw without proper
chain lubrication – check oil level
regularly during operation. Stop work
immediately if the oil level is too low and
refill the oil tank – see also chapters on
"Filling Chain Oil Tank" and "Checking
Chain Lubrication".
If your saw 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 – see also "Before
Starting Work". Make sure the safety
devices are working properly. Do not
continue operating your saw if it is
damaged. In case of doubt, consult your
servicing dealer.

After Finishing Work
Switch off the saw, move the hand guard
to ƒ, disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet and fit the chain scabbard.
Storing
When the chainsaw is not in use, store it
so that it does not endanger others.
Secure it against unauthorized use.
Store your chainsaw in a dry location
with the hand guard on ƒ and the plug
disconnected from the wall outlet.
Vibrations
Prolonged use of the power tool may
result in vibration-induced circulation
problems in the hands (whitefinger
disease).
No general recommendation can be
given for the length of usage because it
depends on several factors.
The period of usage is prolonged by:
Hand protection (wearing warm
–
gloves)
Work breaks
–
The period of usage is shortened by:
Any personal tendency to suffer
–
from poor circulation (symptoms:
frequently cold fingers, tingling
sensations).
Low outside temperatures.
–
The force with which the handles
–
are held (a tight grip restricts
circulation).
Continual and regular users should
monitor closely the condition of their
hands and fingers. If any of the above
symptoms appear (e.g. tingling
sensation in fingers), seek medical
advice.
Maintenance and Repairs
Before carrying out any repairs, cleaning
or maintenance work or work on the
cutting attachment, always switch off the
chainsaw, move the hand guard to ƒ
and disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet. This avoids the risk of injury from
the chain starting unintentionally.
Service the chainsaw regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in the instruction manual.
Have all other work performed by a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend
training courses and are supplied with
the necessary technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts
in order to avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the saw. If you have any
questions in this respect, consult a
servicing dealer.
Never attempt to modify your saw in any
way since this may increase the risk of
personal injury.
Regularly check the electrical contacts
and ensure that the insulation of the
connecting cord and plug shows no sign
of aging (brittleness).
