Even if you are an experienced chain saw user, it is in your own interest to familiarize yourself with the latest instructions and safety precautions regarding your chain saw.  \nPlease note that the illustrations in the chapter \"Main Parts of the Saw\" in this manual show the chain saws STIHL MS 171, 181, 211.  \nOther chain saw models may have different parts and controls. You should therefore always refer to the instruction manual of your particular saw model.  \nContact your STIHL dealer or the STIHL distributor for your area if you do not understand any of the instructions in this manual.  \nWARNING  \nAvoid contact of bar tip with any object. This can cause the guide bar to kick suddenly up and back, which may result in serious or fatal injury. To reduce the risk of kickback injury STIHL recommends the use of STIHL green labeled reduced kickback bars and low kickback chains and a STIHL Quickstop chain brake.  \nThis instruction manual is protected by copyright.

Read the instruction manual and the safety instructions periodically. Careless or improper use may cause serious or fatal injury. Save the instruction manual for future reference.  \nWARNING  \nThe use of this chain saw may be hazardous. The saw chain has many sharp cutters. If the cutters contact your flesh, they will cut you, even if the chain is not moving.  \nWARNING  \nReactive forces, including kickback, can be dangerous. Pay special attention to the section on reactive forces.  \nHave your STIHL dealer show you how to operate your chain saw. All safety precautions that are generally observed when working with an axe or a hand saw also apply to the operation of chainsaws. Observe all applicable federal, state and local safety regulations, standards and ordinances. When using  \na chain saw for logging purposes, for instance, refer to the OSHA regulations for \"logging operations\" at 29 Code of Federal Regulations 1910.266.  \nWARNING  \nDo not lend or rent your chain saw without the instruction manual. Be sure that anyone using it understands the information contained in this manual.  \nThe use of noise emitting chain saws may be restricted to certain times by national, state or local regulations.  \nUse your chain saw only for cutting wooden objects.  \nWARNING  \nDo not use it for other purposes, since misuse may result in personal injury or property damage, including damage to the chain saw.  \nWARNING  \nMinors should never be allowed to use this chain saw. Bystanders, especially children, and animals should not be allowed in the area where it is in use.  \nMost of these safety precautions and warnings apply to the use of all STIHL chain saws. Different models may have different parts and controls. See the appropriate section of your instruction manual for a description of the controlsand the function of the parts of your model.  \nWARNING  \nAlways stop the engine and activate the QuickStop Chainbrake before transporting or","cbCaiiVjvMI2cX3l","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiVjvMI2cX3l","pdf",1215014,36,"English","# Safety Precautions\n## Reactive Forces\n## Working Techniques\n## Maintenance and Care\n## Main Parts","[{\"question\":\"Why must the instruction manual be read thoroughly before using the chainsaw?\",\"answer\":\"The manual explains essential safety precautions and recommended cutting techniques.
