and cutting attachment to the
operator’s hands. An AV system is
recommended for those persons
using chain saws on a regular or
sustained basis.
-
Wear gloves and keep your hands
warm. Heated handles, which are
available on most STIHL power-
heads, are recommended for cold
weather use.
-
Keep the saw chain sharp and the
saw, including the AV system, well
maintained. A dull chain will
increase cutting time, and pressing
a dull chain through wood will
increase the vibrations transmitted
to your hands. A saw with loose
components or with damaged or
worn AV buffers will also tend to
have higher vibration levels.
-
Maintain a firm grip at all times, but
do not squeeze the handles with
constant, excessive pressures, take
frequent breaks.
All the above mentioned precautions do
not guarantee that you will not sustain
whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel
syndrome. Therefore, continual and
regular users should monitor closely the
condition of their hands and fingers. If
any of the above symptoms appear,
seek medical advice immediately.

Clothing must be sturdy
and snug-fitting, but allow
complete freedom of
movement. Avoid loose-fitting jackets,
scarfs, neckties, jewelry, flared or cuffed
pants, or anything that could become
entangled with the saw or brush. Wear
overalls or jeans with a reinforced cut
retardant insert or cut retardant chaps.
Protect your hands with
gloves when handling
saw and saw chain.
Heavy-duty, nonslip
gloves improve your grip
and protect your hands.
Good footing is most
important in chainsaw
work. Wear sturdy boots
with nonslip soles.
Steel-toed safety boots
are recommended.
To reduce the risk of injury to your eyes
never operate a chainsaw unless wear-
ing goggles or properly fitted safety
glasses with adequate top and side
protection complying with ANSI Z 87.1.
Wear an approved safety
hard hat to protect your
head. Chainsaw noise
may damage your
hearing. Always wear
sound barriers (ear plugs
or ear mufflers) to protect your hearing.
Continual and regular users should have
their hearing checked regularly.

Never modify a chainsaw in any way.
Only attachments and parts supplied by
STIHL or expressly approved by STIHL
for use with the specific STIHL saw
models are authorized. Although certain
unauthorized attachments are useable
with the STIHL powerhead, their use
may, in fact, be extremely dangerous.

Always stop the engine before putting a
chainsaw down or carrying it. Carrying a
chainsaw with the engine running is
extremely dangerous. Accidental accel-
eration of the engine can cause the chain
to rotate. During operation, the power-
head muffler and the material around it
reach extremely high temperatures.
Avoid touching the hot muffler, you could
receive serious burns.
%\KDQG
When carrying your saw by
hand, the engine must be stopped and
the saw must be in the proper position.
