Allow only persons who understand this

Manual to operate your chainsaw.

the maintenance and safety

precautions,

starting on page 3, before

using your chainsaw.

serious or even fatal injury.

STIHL's philosophy is to continually

improve all of its products. As a result,

engineering changes and improvements

are made from time-to-time. If the

operating characteristics or the

appearance of your chainsaw differs

from those described in this Manual,

please contact your STIHL dealer for

information and assistance.
