This electric chainsaw is double-
insulated. In such an appliance, two
systems of insulation are provided
instead of grounding. No grounding
means are provided, nor should means
for grounding be added to the appliance.
Servicing a double-insulated appliance
requires extreme care and knowledge of
the system, and should be done only by
qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for double-insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts
they replace.
Use only identical STIHL replacement
parts for maintenance and repair.
Use of parts manufactured by others
may cause serious or fatal injury.
Never operate a chainsaw that is dam-
aged, improperly adjusted or not com-
pletely or securely assembled. Follow
the maintenance and repair instructions
in the appropriate section of your
Owner’s Manual, especially those in the
chapters " Mounting the Bar and Chain"
"Maintaining and Sharpening" and
"Chain Brake".

Always stop the motor, disconnect the
plug from the power supply and ensure
that the chain is stopped before making
any adjustments, maintenance or repair
work, changing the saw chain or cleaning
the saw. Do not attempt any
maintenance or repair work not
described in your Owner’s Manual. Have
such work performed at your STIHL
service shop only.
Keep the chain, bar and sprocket clean;
replace worn sprockets or chains.
Keep the chain sharp. You can spot a dull
chain when easy-to-cut wood becomes
hard to cut and burn marks appear on
the wood. Keep the chain at proper
tension. Tighten all nuts, bolts and
screws before each use.
Only authorized personnel may replace
the power supply cord. A damaged
power supply cord must be replaced by
an identical STIHL replacement part.

In order for the chain brake on your
STIHL chainsaw to properly perform its
function of reducing the risk of kickback
and other injuries, it must be properly
maintained. Like an automobile brake, a
chainsaw chain brake incurs wear each
time it is engaged (see chapter "Chain
Brake" in this manual).
The amount of wear will vary depen-
ding upon usage, conditions under which
the saw is used and other factors.
Excessive wear will reduce the effective-
ness of the chain brake and can render
it inoperable. For proper and effective
operation of the chain brake, the brake
band and drum must be kept free of dirt,
grease and other foreign matter which
may reduce brake performance on the
drum.
For these reasons, each STIHL chain-
saw should be returned to trained
personnel such as your STIHL servicing
dealer for periodic inspection and
servicing of the brake system
according to the following schedule:
Heavy usage - every three months,
Moderate usage - twice a year,
Occasional usage - annually.
The chainsaw should also be returned
immediately for maintenance whenever
the brake system cannot be thoroughly
cleaned or there is a change in its
operating characteristics.
Additionally, the daily maintenance
schedule for your chainsaw set forth in
your STIHL Owner’s Manual should be
strictly followed.
Store chainsaw in a dry locked place
and away from children.
It should have the scabbard mounted or
be in a carrying case.
