Chain Saw Safety Manual

English

2

Observe the national safety regulations 
issued, for example, by the employers' 
liability insurance association, social 
security institutions, occupational safety 
and health authorities or other 
organizations.

If you have never used a power tool 
before: Ask the salesperson or another 
expert to explain how to use it safely – or 
attend a training course. 

Minors should never be allowed to use a 
chain saw – except for young trainees 
over the age of 16 when working under 
supervision.

Keep children, animals and bystanders 
well away from the machine.

When not using the machine, it must be 
laid down in such a way that it does not 
endanger anyone. Ensure that the 
machine cannot be used without 
authorization.

The user is responsible for accidents or 
risks involving third parties or their 
property.

The machine should only be provided or 
loaned to people familiar with this model 
and its operation – and the Instruction 
Manual should always be handed over 
with the machine.

The machine may only be operated by 
people who are fit, in good physical 
health and in good mental condition. If 
you have any condition that might be 
aggravated by strenuous work, check 
with your doctor before operating a 
power tool.

If you have a pacemaker: The ignition 
system of your machine produces an 
electromagnetic field of very low 
intensity. An effect on individual 
pacemaker types cannot be excluded 
entirely. STIHL recommends that you 
consult your doctor and the 
manufacturer of your pacemaker in 
order to avoid all health hazards.

Anyone who has consumed alcohol, 
medicines affecting their ability to react 
or drugs must not operate a power tool.

Postpone the work if the weather is bad 
(rain, snow, ice, wind) - 

higher risk of 

accidents!

Do not cut any material other than wood 
or wooden objects.

Other uses are not permitted and may 
lead to accidents or damage to the 
machine. The machine must not be 
modified in any way - this may also lead 
to accidents or damage to the machine.

Only use tools, guide bars, chains, chain 
sprockets or accessories that have been 
approved by STIHL for this machine or 
which are technically equivalent. 
Contact a dealer if in doubt. Only use 
high-quality tools or accessories. 
Otherwise there may be a risk of 
accidents or damage to the machine.

STIHL recommends the use of genuine 
STIHL tools, guide bars, chains, chain 
sprockets and accessories. These have 
been optimized for the product and the 
user's requirements.

Clothing and equipment 

Wear proper protective clothing and 
equipment.

Clothing which could become trapped in 
wood, brush or moving parts of the 
machine should not be worn. Do not 
wear a scarf, tie or jewelry when 
operating the machine. Long hair must 
be tied up and covered (headscarf, cap, 
helmet, etc.).

Safety Precautions and 

Working Techniques

Special safety precau-
tions must be observed 
when using a chain saw 
because the work goes 
faster than with an axe 
and a hand saw, because 
the chain runs at very 
high speeds, and 
because the cutters are 
extremely sharp.

It is important that you 
carefully read the entire 
Instruction Manual before 
using the machine for the 
first time and keep it in a 
safe place for future ref-
erence. Non-compliance 
with the Instruction Man-
ual may cause serious or 
even fatal injury.

Clothing must be sturdy 
and snug-fitting, but allow 
complete freedom of 
movement. Wear snug fit-
ting clothing with 

cut-

retardant pads

 – an 

overall, not a loose-fitting 
jacket.
