Read theinstruction manual andthe safety instructionsperiodically. Careless orimproper use may causeserious or fatal injury.Warning!Reactive forces, including kickback, canbe dangerous. Pay special attention tothe section on reactive forces.Have your STIHL dealer show you howto operate your power tool. All safetyprecautions that are generally observedwhen working with an ax or a hand sawalso apply to the operation of chainsaws. Observe all applicable federal,state and local safety regulations,standards and ordinances. When usinga chain saw for logging purposes, forinstance, refer to the OSHA regulationsfor "logging operations" at 29 Code ofFederal Regulations 1910.266.Warning!Do not lend or rent your power tool without the instruction manual.

A dull chain willincrease cutting time, and pressinga dull chain through wood willincrease the vibrations transmittedto your hands.These conditions reduce the hand'sability to feel and regulate temperature,produce numbness and burningsensations and may cause nerve andcirculation damage and tissue necrosis.All factors which contribute to whitefinger disease are not known, but coldweather, smoking and diseases orphysical conditions that affect bloodvessels and blood transport, as well ashigh vibration levels and long periods ofexposure to vibration are mentioned asfactors in the development of whitefingerdisease. In order to reduce the risk ofwhitefinger disease and carpal tunnelsyndrome, please note the following:–––4Most STIHL power tools areavailable with an anti-vibration("AV") system designed to reducethe transmission of vibrationscreated by the machine to theoperator's hands. An AV system isrecommended for those personsusing power tools on a regular orsustained basis.Wear gloves and keep your handswarm. Heated handles, which areavailable on some STIHLpowerheads, are recommended forcold weather use.Keep the AV system wellmaintained. A power tool with loosecomponents or with damaged orworn AV elements will tend to havehigher vibration levels. Keep the–Maintain a firm grip at all times, butdo not squeeze the handles withconstant, excessive pressure. Takefrequent breaks.All the above-mentioned precautions donot guarantee that you will not sustainwhitefinger disease or carpal tunnelsyndrome. Therefore, continual andregular users should closely monitor thecondition of their hands and fingers. Ifany of the above symptoms appear,seek medical advice immediately.Warning!The ignition system of the STIHL unitproduces an electromagnetic field of avery low intensity. This field may interfere with some pacemakers. To reducethe risk of serious or fatal injury, personswith a pacemaker should consult theirphysician and the pacemaker manufacturer before operating this tool.Proper ClothingWarning!To reduce the risk of injury, the operatorshould wear proper protective apparel.Clothing must be sturdyand snug-fitting, but allowcomplete freedom ofmovement.
