When using a chain saw, you must always take the correct precautions. Please wear the correct personal protective equipment before you begin using your chain saw.
- Clothing must be sturdy and snug-fitting, but allow complete freedom of movement. Avoid clothing that could get caught on branches, brush or moving parts of the machine. Do not wear a scarf, necktie or jewelry. Tie up and confine long hair with a head scarf, cap or hard hat.
- You must wear chain saw safety chaps or pants
- You must wear CSA approved safety shoes/boots, non-slip soles with steel toe caps.
- To reduce the risk of eye injuries, wear tight fitting safety glasses or a STIHL helmet system.
- Wear hearing protection, for example ear defenders.
- If working in an area with the risk of falling objects, wear a hard hat.
- Wear sturdy, protective gloves made from a resistant material.
If you have any doubt about how to use a chain saw correctly or on assembly, we recommend speaking to your local STIHL Dealer first.
Please note you should never use a chain saw while on a ladder and should only use it in a tree if you have the appropriate qualifications.
Please make sure you have read the Chain Saw Safety Manual before operating the chain saw.

Energy-efficient electric motor
The STIHL electric motor is extremely energy efficient, lightweight and compact. It runs quietly and has very low-vibrations.
Innovative chain lubrication system
Chain oil is important to keep your chain saw running smoothly. The innovative STIHL Ematic™ chain lubrication system provides maximum lubrication and less oil consumption than other chain saws. Oil consumption is up to 50% less with the Ematic™ system.
Quick Chain tensioning
This chain saw features the handy Quick Chain Tensioning system, which makes it very easy to tension the chain, without the need for any tools. Simply release the sprocket cover and turn the thumb wheel to loosen or tighten the chain.
Transparent chain oil tank
You can easily check the level of chain oil in your chain saw with the transparent oil tank on the side of the machine.
Quickstop® super chain brake (Q)
Another great feature designed by STIHL, the additional braking system in the chain saw helps protect you - the chain stops running either when the front hand guard is switched on or when you release the rear handle.
Designed for comfort
The soft-grip rear handle and ergonomic design of the chain saw give you a comfortable and stable grip at all times.
