Use circular saw blades only with a
matching limit stop of the correct
diameter.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of blade damage,
avoid contact with stones and the
ground. Resharpen the blade properly in
good time – dull teeth may result in the
blade cracking and shattering and
causing serious injury.
When felling, maintain a distance of at
least two tree lengths from the next
felling site.
Risk of kickout
The risk of kickout is highest in the black
area of the blade: Do not use this area of
the circular saw blade for cutting.
There is also a risk of kickout when
using the lighter shaded areas of the
blade: These areas of the blade should
only be used by experienced operators
with specialized training.
STIHL recommends that you use the
non-shaded area of the circular saw
blade. Always start the cut with this area
of the blade.
