Warning!
Never touch a chain with your hand or
any part of your body when the engine is
running, even when the chain is not
rotating. The chain continues to rotate
for a short period after the throttle trigger
is released.
!
Warning!
Normally, never cut any material other
than wood or wooden objects. When
sawing, make sure that the saw chain
does not touch any foreign materials
such as rocks, fences, nails and the like.
Such objects may be flung off, damage
the saw chain or cause the saw to
kickback.
Unlike a conventional chainsaw,
however, this Rescue Saw may also be
used in an emergency situation to cut
through materials other than pure
wood – if it is equipped with the carbide-
tipped chain specially authorized by
STIHL for this purpose.

Generally, the specially designed and
hardened cutters of such a chain can
penetrate most wooden doors (even if
nails are encountered), thin metal
sheets, glass (e.g., train windows),
insulating materials, as well as frame,
stucco and even some lightweight
masonry walls.
!
Warning!
If the chain strikes a solid metal or other
very bard object in the material being cut
(such as a nail), the carbide tips or other
chain parts may break off and be
propelled at a high velocity away from
the saw. Try to avoid striking such
objects where possible, and always
stand to the left of the plane of the
cutting attachment.
!
Warning!
When making a forced entry through a
wall, be aware of the possibility of
encountering electrical wiring and pipes.
Cutting into such objects will increase
the risk of serious or fatal injury from
electrocution, fire and/or explosion. To
the extent possible, make sure no live
electrical wires or pipes carrying
flammable or toxic substances are in or
on the other side of the wall you intend
to cut. Follow all applicable rules and
guidelines in this regard.
!
Warning!
The extraordinary cutting capabilities of
the STIHL carbide-tipped rescue chain
may result in higher vibration levels.
Consequently, a STIHL MS 460 Rescue
Saw equipped with rescue chain should
be limited to occasional use only, i.e.
short emergency and rescue cutting
operations (max. 2 tank fillings daily). If
daylong use for woodcutting is
anticipated, such as clearing windfalls,
natural disasters, etc., replace the
carbide-tipped rescue chain with a
normal woodcutting chain such as
36 RM 2, as listed in this manual, which
reduces vibrations to a level that allows
for such extended chain saw operation.
!
Warning!
Use your chainsaw for cutting only. It is
not designed for prying or shoveling
away limbs, roots or other objects.
!
Warning!
In order to keep control of your saw,
always maintain a firm foothold.
