DIHW\ 3UHFDXWLRQV The use of any chainsaw may be hazardous. The saw chain has many sharp cutters. If the cutters contact your flesh, they will cut you, even if the chain is not moving. At full throttle, the chain speed can reach 45 mph (20 m/s). It is important that you read, fully understand and observe the following safety precautions and warnings. Read the Owner’s Manual DQG the safety instructions periodically. Pay special attention to the section on reactive forces.
reduce the hand’s ability to feel and regulate temperature, produce numbness and burning sensations and may cause nerve and circulation damage and tissue necrosis. All factors which contribute to whitefinger disease are not known, but cold weather, smoking and diseases or physical conditions that affect blood vessels and blood transport, as well as high vibration levels and long periods of exposure to vibration are mentioned as factors in the development of whitefinger disease.
Wear an approved safety hard hat to protect your head. Chainsaw noise may damage your hearing. Always wear sound barriers (ear plugs or ear mufflers) to protect your hearing. Continual and regular users should have their hearing checked regularly. 7+( 86( 2) 7+( 6$: 7+( 6$: Accidental acceleration of the engine can cause the chain to rotate. During operation, the powerhead muffler and the material around it reach extremely high temperatures.
STIHL Oilomatic chain, guide bar and sprocket must match each other in gauge and pitch. Before replacing any bar and chain, see the sections on “Specifications”, "Kickback" and the "ANSI B 175.1-2000 chainsaw kickback standard" in this manual. :DUQLQJ Proper tension of the chain is extremely important. In order to avoid improper setting, the tensioning procedure must be followed as described in your manual.
6ORWWHG &DS :DUQLQJ Unit vibrations can cause an improperly tightened fuel filler cap to loosen or come off and spill quantities of fuel. In order to reduce the risk of fuel spillage and fire, tighten fuel filler cap by hand with as much force as possible. The screwdriver end of the STIHL combination wrench or other similar tool can be used as an aid in tightening slotted fuel filler caps. See "Fueling" chapter in your Owner’s Manual.
:DUQLQJ Be sure that the guide bar and chain are clear of you and all other obstructions and objects, including the ground. When the engine is started, the engine speed with the starting throttle lock engaged will be fast enough for the clutch to engage the sprocket and, if the chain brake is not activated, turn the chain. If the upper quadrant of the tip of the bar touches any object, it may cause kickback to occur (see section on reactive forces).
eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator approved by NIOSH / MSHA for the type substance at issue. :DUQLQJ Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous and can cause severe or fatal injury, respiratory illness or cancer. The use and disposal of asbestos containing products have been strictly regulated by OSHA and the Environmental Protection Agency. Do not cut or disturb asbestos, asbestos containing products (e.g.
001BA018 LA 001BA087 LÄ &XWWLQJ ,QVWUXFWLRQV Grip: Always hold the saw firmly with both hands when the engine is running. Place your left hand on front handle bar and your right hand on rear handle and throttle trigger. Left-handers should follow these instructions too. :DUQLQJ Wrap your fingers tightly around the handles, keeping the handles cradled between your thumb and forefinger.
5HDFWLYH IRUFHV LQFOXGLQJ NLFNEDFN :DUQLQJ Reactive forces may occur any time the chain is rotating. Reactive forces can be dangerous! In any chainsaw, the powerful force used to cut wood can be reversed (and work against the operator). If the rotating chain is suddenly stopped by contact with any solid object like a log or branch or is pinched, the reactive forces may occur instantly. These reactive forces may result in loss of control which may, in turn, cause serious or fatal injury.
It may also occur during limbing. The greater the force of the kickback reaction, the more difficult it becomes for the operator to control the saw. Many factors influence the occurrence and force of the kickback reaction. These include chain speed, the speed at which the bar and chain contact the object, the angle of contact, the condition of the chain and other factors. The type of bar and saw chain you use is an important factor in the occurrence and force of the kickback reaction.
:DUQLQJ 'HYLFHV IRU UHGXFLQJ WKH ULVN RI NLFNEDFN LQMXU\ Never operate your chainsaw without a front hand guard. In a kickback situation this guard helps protect your left hand or other parts of your body. In addition, removal of the hand guard on a saw equipped with a chain brake will deactivate the chain brake. STIHL recommends the use of the STIHL Quickstop chain brake on your powerhead with green labeled reduced kickback bars and low kickback chains.
:DUQLQJ An improperly maintained chain brake may increase the time needed to stop the chain after activation, or may not activate at all. :DUQLQJ Never run the chainsaw above idle speed for more than 3 seconds when the chain brake is engaged or the chain is pinched or otherwise caught in the cut. Clutch slippage can cause excessive heat, leading to severe damage of the motor housing, clutch and oiler component and may interfere with the operation of the chain brake.
/RZ NLFNEDFN FKDLQ Some types of saw chain have specially designed components to reduce the force of nose contact kickback. STIHL has developed low kickback chain for your powerhead. “Low kickback saw chain” is a chain which has met the kickback performance requirements of § 5.11.2.4 of ANSI B 175.1-2000 (Safety Requiree ments for Gasoline-Powered ChainSaws) when tested in its original condition on a selected representative sample of chainsaws below 3.8 cubic inch displacement specified in ANSI B 175.

• • • For medium sized or larger trees make cuts at both sides of the trunk, at same height as subsequent felling cut. Cut to no more than width of guide bar. This is especially important in soft wood in summer - it helps prevent sapwood splintering when the tree falls. % )HOOLQJ FXW Conventional and open-face technique: Begin 1 to 2 inches higher than center of felling notch Cut horizontalIy towards the felling notch Leave approx.1/10 of diameter uncut.
Be extremely careful with partially fallen trees which are poorly supported. When the tree hangs or for some other reason does not fall completely, set the saw aside and pull the tree down with a cable winch, block and tackle or tractor. If you try to cut it down with your saw, you may be injured. )HOOLQJ FXW IRU VPDOO GLDPHWHU WUHHV VLPSOH IDQ FXW Engage the bumper spikes of the chainsaw directly behind the location of the intended hinge and pivot the saw around this point only as far as the hinge.
First, cut a large, wide felling notch. Make a plunge cut in the center of the notch. The plunge cut is made with the guide bar nose. Begin the plunge cut by applying the lower portion of the guide bar nose to the tree at an angle. Cut until the depth of the kerf is about the same as the width of the guide bar. Next, align the saw in the direction in which the recess is to be cut. With the saw at full throttle, insert the guide bar in the trunk. Enlarge the plunge cut as shown in illustration.
