Intended Use
WARNING
■ This chain saw is designed for cutting small
diameter trees, branches and limbs around the
home. It is not designed for felling large trees
or cutting large diameter logs. Use of the chain
saw for operations different than intended
could result in serious injury or death.
► Cut wood only. For example, do not use
chain saw for cutting metal, plastic or
masonry.
► Use this chain saw only for light-duty cutting
tasks around the home and garden.
► Do not use it for any other purposes.
■ For cutting larger trees, logs or branches, a
more powerful, faster saw may be necessary
to reduce the risk of binding, stalling or other
risks caused by a change in conditions during
longer cutting times. This battery-operated
chain saw is not suitable for cutting larger
trees and logs, and its use could lead to a loss
of control of the object being cut and serious
personal injury or death.
► A battery-powered chain saw is of limited
suitability for felling and limbing.
► Before starting any felling operation, fully
charge your STIHL AK battery.
■ Before starting any bucking, limbing, pruning
or felling operation, ensure that all necessary
cuts can be completed using the charge
remaining in the STIHL AK series battery. If
you are unsure:
► Have multiple charged batteries available
for use;
► Select a more powerful chain saw;
► Select a more powerful battery; or
► Consult a reputable tree removal professio‐
nal.
