IMPORTANT INFORMATION

WARNING
The occurrence called “kickback” can cause serious or fatal injury. Always read the instruction manual carefully before using your chain saw. STIHL uses a green and yellow color-coding system to help you select a powerhead, bar and chain combination that complies with the kickback requirements of ANSI Standard B175.1 (gasoline-powered chain saws) and §30 of UL 1662/ ANSI Standard B175.1 (electric chain saws). Ask your STIHL Dealer about safe operating procedures and the advantages of the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake, STIHL secondary chain braking system (Q), STIHL reduced-kickback bars and STIHL low-kickback saw chains.

STIHL recommends the use of green reduced-kickback bars and green low-kickback chains on all STIHL chain saws.

STIHL products sold through U.S. STIHL Dealers are for distribution in the United States only.
