Working in a tree requires the use of special cutting and working techniques which must be observed in order to avoid the increased risk of personal injury. To reduce the risk of accidents or injury, put off the work in poor weather conditions (rain, snow, ice, wind). Because a chainsaw is a high-speed wood-cutting tool with very sharp cutters, some special safety precautions must be observed in addition to those that generally apply when working with an axe or hand saw. It is important you read and understand the instruction manual before first use and keep the manual in a safe place for future reference. Nonobservance of the instruction manual may result in serious or even fatal injury. Always observe country-specific safety regulations, standards and ordinances. Minors should never be allowed to use a power tool. Exceptions to this rule are young persons older than 16 who have been trained in special cutting techniques with the tree surgery saw. Keep bystanders, especially children, and animals away from the work area. When the power tool is not in use, shut it off so that it does not endanger others. Secure it against unauthorized use. The user is responsible for avoiding injury to third parties or damage to their property. Lend or rent your chain saw only to persons who have been specially trained for tree surgery work with a tree surgery saw and are familiar with this model and its operation. Do not lend or rent your chainsaw without the instruction manual. The use of noise emitting power tools may be restricted to certain times by national or local regulations. To operate the power tool you must be rested, in good physical condition and mental health. If you have any condition that might be aggravated by strenuous work, check with your doctor before operating a power tool. Persons with pacemakers only: The ignition system of your power tool produces an electromagnetic field of a very low intensity. This field may interfere with some pacemakers. To reduce health risks, STIHL recommends that persons with pacemakers consult their physician and the pacemaker manufacturer before operating this tool. Do not operate the power tool if you are under the influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol) which might impair vision, dexterity or judgment. Only cut wood or wooden objects. Do not use your power tool for any other purpose because of the increased risk of accidents. Only use tools, guide bars, chains, chain sprockets and accessories that are explicitly approved for this power tool model by STIHL or are technically identical. If you have any questions in this respect, consult a servicing dealer. English Use only high quality parts and accessories in order to avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the machine. STIHL recommends the use of STIHL original tools, guide bars, chains, chain sprockets and accessories. They are specifically designed to match your model and meet your performance requirements. Never attempt to modify your power tool in any way since this may increase the risk of personal injury. STIHL excludes all liability for personal injury and damage to property caused while using unauthorized attachments. Do not use a pressure washer to clean the power tool. The solid jet of water may damage parts of the power tool. Clothing and Equipment Wear proper protective clothing and equipment. Clothing must be sturdy but allow complete freedom of movement. Wear snug-fitting clothing with cut retardant inserts for the feet, legs and forearms - a safety combination, not a coat. Avoid clothing that could get caught on branches or brush or moving parts of the machine. Do not wear a scarf, necktie or jewelry. Tie up and confine long hair (e.g. with a hair net, cap, hard hat, etc.). MS 201 T 3
