English4 Safety Precautions4.7Fuel Mixture and RefuelingWARNING This chainsaw requires a fuel mixture of gasoline and twostroke engine oil. Fuel mixture and gasoline are extremelyflammable. If fuel mixture or gasoline make contact withopen fire or hot objects, they can cause a fire orexplosions. This can result in serious or fatal injuries anddamage to property. Protect fuel mixture and gasoline from heat and fire. Do not spill fuel mixture and gasoline. Do not smoke. Never refuel near a fire. Shut off the engine and allow it to cool down beforerefueling. Start the engine at least 3 meters from the fueling spot,outdoors only. Inhaling fuel fumes and gasoline fumes can have toxiceffects. Avoid inhaling fuel fumes or gasoline fumes. Refuel in a well-ventilated location. The chainsaw becomes hot during operation, or in a veryhot environment. Depending on the type of fuel, altitude,ambient temperature and the temperature of the saw, thefuel expands and can cause a pressure build-up in thetank. Fuel may escape as a spray and ignite when the fueltank cap is opened. This can result in serious injuries anddamage to property. Allow the saw to cool down before opening the tank cap. Open the tank cap slowly in stages. Clothing that has been in contact with fuel or gasoline ismore easily flammable. This can result in serious or fatalinjuries and damage to property. If your clothing comes into contact with fuel or gasoline:Change your clothing. Fuel, gasoline and two-stroke engine oil can harm theenvironment. Do not spill fuel, gasoline or two-stroke engine oil. Fuel, gasoline and two-stroke engine oil can harm theenvironment. Fuel, gasoline or two-stroke engine oil can cause irritationif they come into direct contact with the skin or eyes. Avoid contact with fuel, gasoline and two-stroke engineoil. In case of contact with the skin: Wash affected areaswith plenty of water and soap. In case of contact with the eyes: Rinse eyes with plentyof water for at least 15 minutes and seek medicaladvice. The saw’s ignition system produces sparks. Unconfinedsparks may cause a fire or an explosion in an easilycombustible or explosive environment. This can result inserious or fatal injuries and damage to property. Use the spark plugs described in this instructionmanual. Insert and tighten down the spark plug. Connect the spark plug boot and press it down firmly. The saw can be damaged if it is run on a fuel mixtureconsisting of unsuitable gasoline or an unsuitable twostroke engine oil or if an incorrect mix ratio of gasoline andtwo-stroke engine oil is used. Mix the fuel as described in this instruction manual. The mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil canseparate if it is stored for a long period. The saw can bedamaged if it is used with a fuel mix that has separated. Before refueling the saw: Thoroughly mix the fuel. Use a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil thatis not older than 30 days (STIHL MotoMix: 2 years).0458-790-0121-A9
English4.84.8.14 Safety PrecautionsWorkingSawingWARNING Always work within calling distance of others in case helpis needed. Make sure than persons outside the work area arewithin calling distance. The user’s ability to hear and assess noises is restrictedwhen wearing hearing protection with the engine running. Work calmly and carefully. The user will not be able to control the chainsaw properlyif it is operated with the Master Control lever inposition. This can result in serious injuries. Move the Master Control lever to position . Start the engine as described in this instruction manual. If the engine is not started properly, the user may losecontrol of the chainsaw. This can result in serious injuries. Start the engine as described in this instruction manual. Do not accelerate the engine with the chain brakeengaged since this can damage the chain brake. Disengage the chain brake before you start cutting. If the saw chain is touching the ground or objects: Donot start the engine. The rotating saw chain can cut the operator. This canresult in serious injuries. Do not touch the rotating saw chain. The user cannot concentrate on the work in certainsituations. The user can lose control of the saw, trip or falland be seriously injured. Work calmly and carefully. If light and visibility are poor: Do not use your saw. Operate the chainsaw alone. Do not work above shoulder height. Watch out for obstacles. Stand on the ground while working and keep a goodbalance. If it is necessary to work at heights: Use a liftbucket or a safe platform. If you begin to feel tired: Take a break. Exhaust gas is produced when the engine is running.Breathing in exhaust gas can have toxic effects. Avoid inhaling exhaust gas. Operate the chainsaw is a well ventilated location. In the event of nausea, headache, visual disturbances,problems with hearing or dizziness: Stop work and seekmedical advice.10 If the saw chain is blocked by an object: Shut off theengine and engage the chain brake. Then remove theobject causing the blockage. The rotating chain becomes hot and expands. If the chainis not lubricated sufficiently and retensioned, it can comeoff the guide bar or break. This can result in seriousinjuries and damage to property. Use special chain oil. Check chain tension regularly during cutting work. Ifchain tension is insufficient: Tension the chain. If the behavior of the saw changes during operation orfeels unusual, it may no longer be in a safe condition. Thiscan result in serious injuries and damage to property. Stop work and contact your STIHL dealer forassistance. Saw vibrations may occur during operation. Wear gloves. Take regular breaks. If signs of circulation problems occur: Seek medicaladvice.0458-790-0121-A
English4 Safety Precautions Sparks may occur if the rotating chain makes contact witha hard object. Sparks may cause a fire in an easilycombustible location. This can result in serious or fatalinjuries and damage to property. Do not work in an easily combustible location. Note that the saw chain continues to rotate for a shortperiod after you release the trigger. The rotating saw chaincan cut the user. This can result in serious injuries. Wait for the chain to come to a standstill.221WARNING The guide bar can be pinched when cutting wood that isunder tension. The user can lose control of the saw andbe seriously injured. Make a relieving cut in the compression side (1) first,then perform bucking cut at the tension side (2).4.8.2LimbingWARNING4.8.3FellingWARNING Inexperienced users cannot assess the dangers of fellinga tree. This can result in serious or fatal injuries anddamage to property. If you have any queries: Do not fell the tree yourself. A tree and branches can fall on bystanders or objectsduring the felling operation. This can result in serious orfatal injuries and damage to property. Determine direction of fall so that the area in which thetree falls is clear.0000-GXX-1245-A01 A branch may fall to the ground during limbing. The usermay trip, fall or be seriously injured. Limb from the base to the crown of the tree. If the underside of the felled tree is limbed first, it will nolonger be supported on the ground by branches. The treecan move during cutting work. This can result in serious orfatal injuries. Cut through large limbs on the underside of the tree onlyafter it has been bucked. Do not allow bystanders, children or animals within 2.5tree lengths of the felling site. Remove broken or dead branches from the tree crownbefore felling.
