Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury from parts
thrown by the fan wheel, check the fan
housing for damage (cracks or holes
that could allow foreign objects to
contact the fan wheel). If any such
damage is found, stop using the unit and
contact your STIHL dealer for repair.
!
Warning!
Adjust carrying harness to suit your size
before starting work.
In an emergency, you may slip out of the
harness and throw off the machine
quickly. Try slipping out of the harness a
number of times before using the
machine in order to become
accustomed to it. Do not throw off the
machine while practicing as it could
damage the machine.

Starting
To reduce the risk of fire and burn
injuries, start the engine at least 10 feet
(3 meters) from the fueling spot,
outdoors only.
!
Warning!
Your power tool is a one-person
machine. To reduce the risk of eye or
other injury from thrown objects, insure
that by-standers are at least 50 feet
(15 m) away during use. Stop operation
immediately if you are approached.
!
Warning!
This unit is equipped with an ignition
system that is nomally in operational
readiness. After the setting lever is used
to stop the engine, it automatically
springs back to the "on" position. If the
engine is warm, it may be possible to
start it by simply pulling the starter rope,
with no further adjustments. To reduce
the risk of injury, be particularly alert to
keep children away from the unit.
For specific starting instructions, see the
appropriate section of your manual.
Place the power tool on firm ground or
other solid surface in an open area.
Maintain good balance and secure
footing.
!
Warning!
When you pull the starter grip, do not
wrap the starter rope around your hand.
Do not let the grip snap back, but guide
the starter rope to rewind it properly.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in injury to your hand or fingers
and may damage the starter
mechanism.
Once the engine has started,
immediately blip the throttle trigger,
which should cause the choke knob to
move to the run position and allow the
engine to slow down to idle.
