4 Safety Precautions
￭ The rotating saw chain can cut the operator. This can
result in serious injuries.
► Do not touch the rotating saw chain.
► If the saw chain is blocked by an object: Switch off the
garden pruner and remove the battery. Then remove the
object causing the blockage.
￭ The rotating chain becomes hot and expands. If the chain
is not lubricated sufficiently or not re-tensioned at regular
intervals, it may come off the guide bar or break. This can
result in serious injuries and damage to property.
► Use STIHL Multioil Bio or an equivalent biodegradable
multifunctional oil.
► Lubricate the saw chain after every break to recharge
the battery.
► Check chain tension regularly during cutting work. If
chain tension is insufficient: Tension the chain.
￭ The guide bar, saw chain and chain sprocket can become
hot during operation. There is a risk of burn injuries.
► Do not touch the hot guide bar, saw chain or chain
sprocket.
► Wait for the guide bar, saw chain and chain sprocket to
cool down.
► Wear work gloves made of durable material.
￭ If the behavior of the garden pruner 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.
￭ Vibrations may occur while using the garden pruner.
► 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.
► Wait for the chain to come to a standstill.
DANGER
￭ Working near live electric cables can result in accidental
contact with the chain and damage the cables. This can
result in serious or fatal injuries.
