Grip the front handle and place the
muffler away from the body.
The chain guard (scabbard) should be
over the chain and the guide bar, which
should point backwards. When carrying
your saw, the bar should be behind you.
When removing the scabbard be careful
not to contact the chain.
%\ YHKLFOH When transporting in a
vehicle, keep chain and bar covered with
the chain guard. Properly secure your
saw to prevent turnover, fuel spillage and
damage to the saw.

Take off the chain guard and inspect for
safety in operation. For assembly, follow
the procedure described in the chapter
"Mounting the Bar and Chain" of your
owner's manual.
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", kick-
back and the ANSI B 175.1-1991 chain-
saw kickback standard in this manual.

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.
Always make sure the hexagonal nut(s)
for the sprocket cover is (are) tightened
securely after tensioning the chain.
Never start the saw with the sprocket
cover loose. Check chain tension once
more after having tightened the nut(s)
and thereafter at regular intervals (when-
ever the saw is shut off). If the chain
becomes loose while cutting, shut off the
engine and then tighten. Never try to
tighten the chain while the engine is
running !

Your STIHL chainsaw uses an oil-gaso-
line mixture for fuel (see chapter "Fuel"
of your owner's manual).
:DUQLQJ
Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel.
If spilled and ignited by a spark or other
ignition source, it can cause fire and
serious burn injury or property damage.
Use extreme caution when handling
gasoline or fuel mix.
Do not smoke or bring
any fire or flame near the
fuel or the chainsaw.
Note that combustible
fuel vapors may be ven-
ted from the fuel system..
)XHOLQJ ,QVWUXFWLRQV
Fuel your chainsaw in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors only.
Always shut off the engine and allow it to
cool before refueling. Gasoline vapor
pressure may build up inside the gas-
tank of a two cycle engine depending on
the fuel used, the weather conditions,
and the venting system of the tank. In
order to reduce the risk of burns or other
personal injury from escaping gas vapor
and fumes, remove the gas cap on the
STIHL product carefully so as to allow
any pressure build-up in the tank to
release slowly. Never remove fuel filler
cap while engine is running.
Select bare ground for fueling and move
at least 10 feet (3 m) from fueling spot
before starting the engine. Wipe off any
spilled fuel before starting your saw, and
check for leakage.
