bucket or a safe platform.

the ground. This can result in serious injuries and damage
to property.
► Secure the chainsaw with a rope tied to the ring.

￭ The rotating chain becomes hot and expands. If the chain
is not lubricated sufficiently and retensioned, it can come
off the guide bar or break. This can result in serious
injuries and damage to property.
► Use special chain oil.
► Check chain tension regularly during cutting work. If
chain tension is insufficient: Tension the chain.
￭ If the behavior of the saw changes during operation or
feels unusual, it may no longer be in a safe condition. This
can result in serious injuries and damage to property.
► Stop work, remove the battery and contact your STIHL
servicing dealer for assistance.
￭ Saw vibrations may occur during operation.
► Wear gloves.
► Take regular breaks.
► If signs of circulation problems occur: Seek medical
advice.
￭ Sparks may occur if the rotating chain makes contact with
a hard object. Sparks may cause a fire in an easily
combustible location. This can result in serious or fatal
injuries and damage to property.
► Do not work in an easily combustible location.
￭ Note that the saw chain continues to rotate for a short
period after you release the trigger. The rotating saw chain
can cut the user. This can result in serious injuries.
► Hold the saw firmly with both hands and wait until the
saw chain comes to a standstill.
