Important Safety Information
The occurrence called “kickback” can cause serious or fatal injury. Always read the instruction manual carefully before using your saw. STIHL uses a green and yellow color-coding system to help you select a powerhead, bar, and chain combination that complies with ANSI Standard B175.1 (gasoline-powered saws) and §30 of UL 1662/ANSI Standard B175.1 (electric chainsaws).
STIHL recommends the use of green reduced kickback bars and green low-kickback chains on all STIHL chainsaws.
Proposition 65 Warning: Cancer and reproductive harm.
Fuel Recommendations: Use fuel with no more than 10% ethanol content. Using fuel with greater than 10% ethanol content may cause damage to the equipment and may void the STIHL warranty.
Warning: Improper use of any power tool may cause serious or fatal injury. Read, understand, and follow all operating and safety instructions in the instruction manual before use.
