5 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
5.1

Intended Use

WARNING
■ This chain saw is designed for cutting small
and medium diameter trees, branches and
limbs. It is not designed for felling large trees
or cutting large diameter logs. Use of the chain
saw for operations different than intended
could result in serious injury or death.
► Cut wood only. For example, do not use
chain saw for cutting metal, plastic or
masonry.
► Use this chain saw only for light-duty or
moderate-duty cutting tasks.
► Do not use it for any other purposes.
■ For cutting larger trees, logs or branches, a
more powerful, faster saw may be necessary
to reduce the risk of binding, stalling or other
risks caused by a change in conditions during
longer cutting times. This battery-operated
chain saw is not suitable for cutting larger
trees and logs, and its use could lead to a loss
of control of the object being cut and serious
personal injury or death.
► Before starting any felling operation, fully
charge your STIHL AP or AR battery.
