Contents
Allow only persons who fully understand
this manual to operate your clearing

To receive maximum performance and
satisfaction from your STIHL clearing
saw, it is important that you read,
understand and follow the safety
precautions and the operating and
maintenance instructions in chapter

Techniques" before using your clearing
saw. For further information you can go

precautions must be observed to reduce
the risk of personal injury. Careless or
improper use may cause serious or even
fatal injury.
Make sure your unit is equipped with the
proper deflector, handle and harness for
the type of cutting attachment being
