eliminated, the operator and any by-
standers should always wear a respirator
approved by NIOSH / MSHA for the type
substance at issue.

Warning!
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous
and can cause severe or fatal injury, re-
spiratory illness or cancer. The use and
disposal of asbestos containing products
have been strictly regulated by OSHA
and the Environmental Protection Agen-
cy. Do not cut or disturb asbestos, asbe-
stos containing products (e.g. asbestos
containing drywall or other construction
products), or products such as pipes
which are wrapped or covered with asbe-
stos insulation. If you have any reason
to believe that you might be cutting asbe-
stos, immediately contact your employer
or a local OSHA representative.
The muffler and other parts of the engine
(e.g. fins of the cylinder, spark plug)
become hot during operation and remain
hot for a while after stopping the engine.
To reduce risk of burns do not touch the
muffler and other parts while they are
hot. Don’t work alone. Keep within calling
distance of others in case help is
needed.
Your chainsaw is equipped with a chain
catcher. It is designed to reduce the risk
of personal injury in the event of a thrown
or broken chain. From time to time the
catcher may be damaged or removed.
To reduce the risk of personal injury,
do not operate a chainsaw with a
damaged or missing catcher.
Inspect buffers periodically. Replace
damaged, broken or excessively worn
buffers immediately, since they may
result in loss of control of the saw.
A “sponginess” in the feel of the saw,
increased vibration or increased
“bottoming” during normal operation
may indicate damage, breakage or
excessive wear. Buffers should always
be replaced in sets. If you have any
questions as to whether the buffers
should be replaced, consult your STIHL
servicing dealer.
!
Warning!
Take extreme care in wet and freezing
weather (rain, snow, ice). Put off the
work when the weather is windy, stormy
or rainfall is heavy.
!
Warning!
Avoid stumbling on obstacles such as
stumps, roots or rocks and watch out for
holes or ditches. Clear the area where
you are working. Be extremely cautious
when working on slopes or uneven
ground. There is increased danger of
slipping on freshly debarked logs.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk
of serious or fatal
injury to the opera-
tor or bystanders,
never use the saw
with one hand.
You cannot control reactive forces and
you may lose control of the saw, which
can result in the skating or bouncing of
the bar and chain along the limb or log.
Even for those compact saws designed
for use in confined spaces, one-handed
operation is dangerous because the
operator may lose control.
