The chain saw should also be returned
immediately for maintenance whenever
the brake system cannot be thoroughly
cleaned or there is a change in its
operating characteristics.
For any maintenance of the emission
control system please refer to the
maintenance chart and to the limited
warranty statement near the end of the
instruction manual.
Do not clean your machine with a
pressure washer. The solid jet of water
may damage parts of the machine.
Store chain saw in a dry place and away
from children. Before storing for longer
than a few days, always empty the fuel
tank (see chapter "Storing the Machine"
in the instruction manual).
The depth limiter (special accessory) is
intended exclusively for use with the
STIHL MS 461 rescue saw. It slides
within a preset range along a special
guide bar to allow adjustment of the
cutting or plunge depth.
