Stihl 024 Series Instruction Manual page 3

This Manual contains operating and safety instructions for
all STIHL 024 series power saws.
Pay
special attention to the safety precautions outlined
on
the inside cover and
on
pages
4
to 23. Allow only persons
who understand this Manual to operate your
chain saw.
To
receive maximum performance and satisfaction from
your STIHL chain
saw, it
is
important that
you read and
understand the maintenance and safety precautions be-
fore using your saw.
Contact your STIHL dealer or the
STIHL
distributor for your
area if you do not understand
any of the instructions
in
this Manual.
Because a chain saw is
a
high-speed wood-cutting tool,
some special safety precautions must
be
observed as wi-
thany other power saw to reduce the risk of personal inju-
ries. Careless or improper use may cause serious
or
even
fatal
injury.
STIHI2s
philosophy
is
to continually improve
all
of its pro-
ducts. As
a
result, engineering changes and improve-
ments are made from time-to-time.
If
the operating cha-
racteristics or the appearance of your saw differs from
those described
in
this Manual, please contact your STIHL
dealer for information and assistance.
