English
Wear steel-toed safety
boots with cut retardant
inserts and non-slip
soles.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of eye
injuries, wear close-fit-
ting safety glasses in
accordance with Euro-
pean Standard EN 166.
Make sure the safety
glasses are a comforta-
ble and snug fit.
Wear a face shield and make sure it is a
good fit. A face shield alone does not
provide adequate eye protection.
Hearing protection is recommended if
your daily working time is more than
6 hours.
Wear a safety hard hat with chin strap
where there is a danger of head injuries
from falling objects.
Wear heavy-duty work
gloves made of durable
material (e.g. leather) –
with cut-retardant inserts.
STIHL offers a comprehensive range of
personal protective clothing and
equipment.
Use personal fall protection equipment.
Use only certified equipment that is
suitable for the application concerned.
Check the condition of the equipment
before each use and replace any
damaged parts.

Transport
Before transport – even over shorter
distances – always switch off the chain
saw (set the hand guard to ƒ). This
avoids the risk of the engine starting
unintentionally. Fit the chain scabbard.
Carry the chain saw only by the control
handle – guide bar pointing backwards.
In vehicles: Properly secure the chain
saw to prevent turnover, damage and
chain oil spillage.
1
Only use the pull-out ring (1) on the back
of the chain saw to transport and secure
the chain saw on a rope.
Cleaning
Clean plastic parts with a cloth. Harsh
detergents can damage the plastic.
Clean the dust and dirt off the machine –
do not use any grease solvents for this
purpose.
Clean the ventilation slots if necessary.
Keep the guide grooves of the battery
free of dirt – clean if necessary.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to
clean the chain saw. The hard jet of
water can damage parts of the machine.
Do not spray the chain saw with water.
