Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Special safety precautions must be observed
when working with the
pole pruner because it
operates at a very high
chain speed, has very
sharp cutters and a long
reach.
It is important you read
and understand the User
Manual before commissioning and keep it in a
safe place for future reference. Non-compliance
with the User Manual
may cause serious or
even fatal injury.
Observe all applicable local safety
regulations, e.g. by trade organizations,
social insurance institutions, labor safety
authorities etc.
If you have never used a power tool
before: Have your dealer or other
experienced user show you how to
operate your machine – or attend a
special course to learn how to operate it.
Minors are not allowed to work with the
power tool – except adolescents above
16 years of age who are instructed
under supervision.
Children, animals and bystanders must
remain at a distance.
When not using the machine, it must be
laid down in such a way that it does not
endanger anyone. Ensure that the
machine cannot be used without
authorization.

The user is responsible for accidents or
risks involving third parties or their
property.
Do not lend or rent your power tool
without the User Manual. Be sure that
anyone using it understands the
information contained in this manual.
The use of machines that emit noise
may be limited to certain hours of the
day as specified by national and/or
regional or local regulations.
Anyone operating the machine must be
well rested, in good physical health and
in good mental condition.
If you have any condition that might be
aggravated by strenuous work, check
with your doctor before operating a
machine.
If you have a pacemaker: The ignition
system of your machine produces an
electromagnetic field of very low
intensity. This field may interfere with
some pacemakers. STIHL recommends
that persons with pacemakers consult
their physician and the pacemaker
manufacturer to reduce any health risk.
Anyone who has consumed alcohol or
drugs or medicines affecting their ability
to react must not operate a power tool.
Use your pole pruner for limbing only
(removing or pruning branches). Saw
wood and wooden objects only.
The machine must not be used for any
other purposes – risk of accidents!
Only use guide bars, saw 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 your dealer. 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, saw chains,
chain sprockets and accessories. They
are specifically designed to match the
product 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 high-pressure washer to
clean the power tool. The solid jet of
water may damage parts of the unit.
Clothing and equipment
Wear proper protective clothing and
equipment.
Clothing must be sturdy
but allow complete freedom of movement. Wear
close-fitting clothes such
as a boiler suit, not a
loose jacket.
Do not wear clothing which could
become trapped in wood, brush or
moving parts of the machine. Do not
wear a scarf, necktie or jewelry. Tie up
and confine long hair above your
shoulders.
Wear cut protection
safety boots with non-slip
soles and steel toe caps.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of eye
injuries, wear close-fitting safety glasses in
accordance with European Standard EN 166.
Make sure the safety
glasses are a snug fit.
Wear "personal" sound protection, e.g.
ear defenders.
Wear a safety hard hat where there is a
danger of head injuries from falling
objects.
Wear sturdy protective
gloves made of a resistant material (e. g.
leather).
STIHL can supply a comprehensive
range of personal protective equipment.
Transporting the machine
Always stop the engine.
Always fit the chain scabbard – even
when you carry the power tool for short
distances.

English
Ensure that the power tool is always well
balanced and hold it by the shaft for
carrying. Do not touch hot parts of the
machine, especially the surface of the
muffler – Risk of burns!
By vehicle: When transporting in a
vehicle, properly secure your machine to
prevent turnover, damage and fuel
spillage.
Refueling
Gasoline is highly flammable – keep away from
fire or flame – do not spill
any fuel – no smoking.
Always shut off the engine before
refueling.
Do not fuel a hot engine – fuel may spill
and cause a fire.
Open the fuel cap carefully to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release
slowly and avoid fuel spillage.
Only refuel the machine in a well
ventilated place. If fuel has been spilled,
immediately clean the machine – do not
allow your clothes to be splashed with
fuel. If that happens, change your
clothes at once.
After fueling, tighten
down the screw-type fuel
cap as securely as
possible.
This helps reduce the risk of unit
vibrations causing an incorrectly
tightened fuel cap to loosen or come off
and spill quantities of fuel.
Check for leaks. Do not start the engine
if there is a fuel leak – serious or fatal
burns could result!
Before starting
Check that your power tool is properly
assembled and in good condition – refer
to appropriate chapters in the User
Manual.
–Check the fuel system for leaks,
especially the visible parts, e. g.,
fuel cap, hose connections, manual
fuel pump (only in machines with a
manual fuel pump). In case of
leakage and damage, do not start
the engine – risk of fire! Have the
machine serviced by a dealer
before using it
–Correctly mounted guide bar
–Correctly tensioned saw chain
–The stop switch must be easy to
push
–Check the choke lever, throttle
trigger and throttle trigger lockout
for smooth action - throttle trigger
must return automatically to idle
position. The choke lever must
spring back from the g and <
positions to the run position F when
the throttle trigger lockout and
throttle trigger are squeezed
–Check that the spark plug boot is
secure – a loose boot may cause
sparking that could ignite
combustible fumes and cause a fire!
–Never attempt to modify the controls
or safety devices
–Keep the handles dry and clean –
free from oil and dirt – this is
important for safe control of the
machine
–Adjust the harness to suit your
height and reach. Observe the
chapter "Fitting the Harness"
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do
not operate your power tool if it is
damaged or not properly assembled!
If you use a harness: Practice setting
down the machine quickly by removing
the harness or by unhooking the
machine as you would in an emergency.
To avoid damage, do not throw the
machine to the ground when practicing.
Starting the engine
Start the engine at least 3 meters from
the fueling spot, outdoors only.
Place the power tool on level ground in
an open area. Make sure you have good
balance and secure footing. Hold the
power tool securely. The chain must be
clear of the ground and all other
obstructions because it may begin to run
when the engine starts.
Your power tool is designed to be
operated by one person only. Do not
allow other persons within a radius of
15 m of your own position – even when
starting the power tool – Risk of injury!
Start the engine as described in the user
manual.
The saw chain continues running for a
short period when you release the
throttle trigger – flywheel effect!

15m (50ft)
Check engine idling speed: The saw
chain must not move when the engine is
idling – with the throttle trigger released.
Keep easily flammable materials (e.g.
wood chips, bark, dry grass, fuel) away
from the hot exhaust gas flow and the
hot muffler surface – Risk of fire!
Holding and guiding the machine
Always hold the power tool firmly with
both hands – right hand on the control
handle, left hand on the drive tube –
even if you are left-handed. Wrap your
thumbs firmly around the control handle
and shaft.
Machines with telescopic shaft: Extend
the telescopic shaft only as far as the
working height.
While working
Make sure you always have good
balance and secure footing.
In the event of impending danger or in
an emergency, switch off the engine
immediately by pressing the stop switch.
This power tool is not
insulated. Keep at least
15 m away from electric
power lines – Danger of
fatal electric shock!
Do not allow other persons within a
radius of 15 m of your own position due
to falling branches and ejected wood
particles – Risk of injury!
This distance must also be maintained in
relation to objects (vehicles, window
panes) – risk of property damage!
Keep the bar nose at least 15 m away
from electric power lines . Electric
current may also arc over from highvoltage cables at greater distance. Have
the power switched off before starting
work in the immediate vicinity of power
lines.
Switch off the engine before changing
the saw chain – Risk of injury!
Ensure that the engine idling speed is
correct. The saw chain must not move
when the throttle trigger has been
released.
It the saw chain continues moving, have
the machine repaired by your specialist
dealer. Check and correct the idle speed
setting at regular intervals.
Never leave a running machine
unattended.
Take special care in slippery, wet
conditions, in snow and on slopes,
uneven ground, etc. – Risk of slipping!
Watch out for obstacles: tree stumps,
roots – risk of tripping or stumbling!
When working at heights:
–Always use a lift bucket
–Never use the machine while
standing on a ladder or in a tree
–Never work on an insecure support
–Never use the machine with just one
hand
Be particularly alert and cautious when
wearing hearing protection because
your ability to hear warnings (shouts,
alarms, etc.) is restricted.
Take breaks when you start getting tired
or feeling fatigue – risk of accidents!
Work calmly and carefully – in daylight
conditions and only when visibility is
good. Proceed with caution, do not put
others in danger.

As soon as the engine is
running, the power
machine generates toxic
exhaust gas. These
gases may be odorless
and invisible and may
contain unburned hydrocarbons and benzene.
Never run the engine
indoors or in poorly ventilated locations, even if
your model is equipped
with a catalytic converter.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injury from breathing toxic fumes,
ensure proper ventilation when working
in trenches, hollows or other confined
locations.
Stop work immediately if you start
suffering from nausea, headaches,
impaired vision (e.g. your field of vision
gets smaller), impaired hearing,
dizziness, or impaired concentration –
these symptoms may possibly be the
result of too-high exhaust gas
concentration – Risk of accidents!
Operate your power tool so that it
produces a minimum of noise and
emissions – do not run the engine
unnecessarily, accelerate the engine
only when working.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not smoke
while operating or standing near your
power tool. Combustible fuel vapor may
escape from the fuel system.
Dust (e.g. sawdust), fumes and smoke,
generated while using the machine, may
be hazardous to health. Wear a dust
mask in case of dust formation.
If your power tool is subjected to
unusually high loads for which it was not
designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall),
always check that it is in good condition
before continuing work – see also
"Before Starting". Check in particular
that the fuel system has no leaks and the
safety equipment is fully operative.
Never use a power tool that is no longer
safe to operate. In case of doubt, contact
a dealer.
If you use a harness, ensure that the
exhaust gas flow is diverted away from
your body – Risk of fire!
Limbing
Hold the power tool at an angle. Do not
stand directly underneath the limb being
cut. Do not exceed an angle of 60° from
the horizontal. Watch for falling wood.
Keep the work area clear – remove
interfering limbs and brush.
Before sawing branches, establish an
escape route and remove all obstacles.
When performing the separating cut,
position the bar against the branch near
the hook. This will prevent the power tool
from making jolting movements when
you start the separating cut.
Start the cut with the saw chain at full
throttle.
Always cut with a correctly sharpened,
properly tensioned saw chain – the
depth gauge setting must not be too
large.
Do not operate your power tool in the
starting throttle position – engine speed
cannot be controlled in this position.
Perform cross-cut from the top
downward to avoid the chain pinching in
the cut.
If branches are thick or heavy, make a
relief cut – see "Using the Pole Pruner".
Exercise extreme caution when sawing
branches under tension – Risk of injury!
Always make a relieving cut on the
compression side first and then perform
the bucking cut at the tension side.
Be careful when cutting splintered wood
– Risk of injury from ejected pieces of
wood!

HT 105, HT 134, HT 135
Page 9
English
If working on a slope, always stand uphill
or to the side of the branch which is to be
sawn. Watch out for rolling branches.
Note when reaching the end of a cut that
the power tool is no longer supported by
the guide bar in the cut. The user must
bear the weight of the machine – risk of
loss of control!
Always pull the power tool out of the cut
with the saw chain running.
Use the power tool for limbing and
pruning only, not for felling – Risk of
accidents!
Keep the saw chain away from any
foreign objects: Stones, nails, etc. may
be ejected and damage the saw chain.
If a rotating saw chain hits a stone or
another hard object, sparks may be
generated which may ignite easily
flammable materials under certain
conditions. Also dried-out plants and
brushwood are combustible, above all in
hot and dry weather. If there is a risk of
fire, do not use your pole pruner near
easily flammable materials, dry plants or
scrub. It is mandatory that you ask the
responsible forestry office about the
current fire hazard.
Before you leave the machine: Shut the
engine off.
Vibrations
Prolonged use of the power tool may
result in vibration-induced circulation
problems in the hands (whitefinger
disease).
No general recommendation can be
given for the length of usage because it
depends on several factors.
The period of usage is prolonged by:
–Hand protection (wearing warm
gloves)
–Work breaks
The period of usage is shortened by:
–Any personal tendency to suffer
from poor circulation (symptoms:
frequently cold fingers, tingling
sensations).
–Low outside temperatures.
–The force with which the handles
are held (a tight grip restricts
circulation).
Continual and regular users should
monitor closely the condition of their
hands and fingers. If any of the above
symptoms appear (e.g. tingling
sensation in fingers), seek medical
advice.
Maintenance and Repairs
Service the machine regularly. Do not
attempt any maintenance or repair work
not described in the instruction manual.
Have all other work performed by a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are
regularly given the opportunity to attend
training courses and are supplied with
the necessary technical information.
Only use high-quality replacement parts
in order to avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the machine. If you have
any questions in this respect, consult a
servicing dealer.
STIHL recommends the use of genuine
STIHL replacement parts. They are
specifically designed to match your
model and meet your performance
requirements.
To reduce the risk of injury from
unintentional engine startup, always
shut off the engine and disconnect the
spark plug boot before performing any
repairs, maintenance or cleaning work. –
Exception: Carburetor and idle speed
adjustments.
Do not turn the engine over on the
starter with the spark plug boot or spark
plug removed since there is otherwise a
risk of fire from uncontained sparking.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not service
or store your machine near open flames.
Check the fuel filler cap for leaks at
regular intervals.
Use only a spark plug of the type
approved by STIHL and make sure it is
in good condition – see "Specifications".
Inspect the ignition lead (insulation in
good condition, secure connection).
Check the condition of the muffler.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate
your machine if the muffler is damaged
or missing – there is also a risk of
hearing damage.
Do not touch a hot muffler since burn
injury will result.
Shut off the engine
–before checking chain tension.
–before retensioning the chain.
–before replacing the chain.
–before rectifying problems.

Cutting Attachment
A cutting attachment consists of the saw
chain, guide bar and chain sprocket.
The cutting attachment that comes
standard is designed to exactly match
the pole pruner.
–The pitch (t) of the saw chain (1),
chain sprocket and the nose
sprocket of the Rollomatic guide bar
must match.
–The drive link gauge (2) of the saw
chain (1) must match the groove
width of the guide bar (3).
If non-matching components are used,
the cutting attachment may be damaged
beyond repair after a short period of
operation.
Chain Scabbard
The scope of supply includes a bar
scabbard that matches the cutting
attachment.
If guide bars of different lengths are

benzene and lead, is distinguished by a
high octane rating, and always provides
the proper mixing ratio.
STIHL MotoMix uses STIHL HP Ultra
two-stroke engine oil for optimum engine
life.
MotoMix is not available in all markets.
Mixing fuel
NOTICE
Unsuitable fuels or a mixing ratio that
deviates from the specification can lead
to severe engine damage. The engine,
seals, fuel lines and fuel tank may be
damaged if low-quality gasoline or
engine oil is used.
Gasoline
Use only high-quality gasoline with an
octane rating of at least 90 ROC –
leaded or unleaded.
Gasoline with an alcohol component
exceeding 10% can cause impaired
engine performance in engines with
manually adjustable carburetors and
thus should not be used in these
engines.
Engines with M-Tronic deliver full engine
performance using gasoline with an
alcohol component of up to 27% (E27).
Engine oil
If you mix the fuel yourself, use only
STIHL two-stroke engine oil or another
high-performance engine oil classified
as JASO FB, JASO FC, JASO FD, ISOL-EGB, ISO-L-EGC or ISO-L-EGD.
STIHL specifies STIHL HP Ultra twostroke engine oil or an equivalent highperformance engine oil in order to
maintain emission limits over the
machine’s service life.
Mixing ratio
with STIHL two-stroke engine oil 1:50;
1:50 = 1 part oil + 50 parts gasoline
canister first, then add gasoline and
mix thoroughly
STIHL two-stroke
engine oil 1:50
Storing fuel mixture
Store in approved safety fuel canisters
only in a dry, cool and secure place
protected against light and sunlight.
Fuel mixture deteriorates with age – mix
only as much as needed for a few
weeks. Do not store fuel mixture for
longer than 30 days. The fuel mixture
can become unusable more quickly if
exposed to light, sunlight or low or high
temperatures.
STIHL MotoMix however can be stored
for up to 5 years without any problems.
NShake the canister containing the
fuel mixture thoroughly before
refueling
WARNING
Pressure may have built up in the
canister – open it carefully.
NThe fuel tank and the canister in
which fuel mixture is stored should
be cleaned thoroughly from time to
time
Residual fuel and the liquid used for
cleaning must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and without
harming the environment!

Fueling
Preparations
NBefore fueling, clean the filler cap
and the area around it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
NPosition the machine so that the
tank cap faces up.
Opening the Tank Cap
Filling Up with Fuel
Take care not to spill fuel while fueling
and do not overfill the tank.
STIHL recommends you use the STIHL
filler nozzle for fuel (special accessory).
NFill up with fuel.
Closing the Tank Cap
NPlace the cap in the opening.
NTurn the cap clockwise as far as
stop and tighten it down as firmly as
possible by hand.
Chain Lubricant
For automatic and reliable lubrication of
the chain and guide bar – use only an
environmentally compatible quality
chain and bar lubricant. Rapidly
biodegradable STIHL BioPlus is
recommended.
NOTICE
Biological chain oil must be resistant to
aging (e.g. STIHL BioPlus), since it will
otherwise quickly turn to resin. This
results in hard deposits that are difficult
to remove, especially in the area of the
chain drive and chain. It may even cause
the oil pump to seize.
The service life of the chain and guide
bar depends on the quality of the
lubricant. It is therefore essential to use
only a specially formulated chain
lubricant.
WARNING
Do not use waste oil. Renewed contact
with waste oil can cause skin cancer.
Moreover, waste oil is environmentally
harmful.
NTurn the cap counterclockwise until
it can be removed from the tank
opening.
NRemove the tank cap.
HT 105, HT 134, HT 135
NOTICE
Waste oil does not have the necessary
lubricating properties and is unsuitable
for chain lubrication.

the oil supply system: Check chain
lubrication, clean the oilways, contact
your dealer for assistance if necessary.
STIHL recommends that maintenance
and repair work be carried out only by
authorised STIHL dealers.
If the fuel cap will not lock onto the oil
tank
The base of the fuel cap is tilted in
relation to the upper part.
NRemove the fuel cap from the oil
tank and look at it from above
left:Base of fuel cap is tilted –
interior marking (1) is aligned
with the exterior marking
right:Bottom of the fuel cap in cor-
rect position – inner mark is

align with the exterior
marking
NFit fuel cap and twist it
counterclockwise until it engages in
the seat of the filling port
NContinue to twist the fuel cap
counterclockwise (approx. 1/4 turn)
– this will twist the base of the cap
into the correct position
NTwist the fuel cap clockwise and
close it – see section "Closing"
The saw chain must always throw off a
small amount of oil.
NOTICE
Never operate without chain lubrication.
If the chain runs dry, the whole cutting
attachment will be irretrievably damaged
within a very short time. Always check
chain lubrication and the oil level in the
tank before starting work.
Every new chain has to be broken in for
about 2 to 3 minutes.
After breaking in the chain, check chain
tension and adjust if necessary – see
"Checking Chain Tension".

Operating Instructions
During Break-In Period
A factory-new machine should not be
run at high revs (full throttle off load) for
the first three tank fillings. This avoids
unnecessary high loads during the
break-in period. As all moving parts
have to bed in during the break-in
period, the frictional resistances in the
engine are greater during this period.
The engine develops its maximum
power after about 5 to 15 tank fillings.
During Operation
NOTICE
Do not make the mixture leaner to
achieve an apparent increase in power –
this could damage the engine – see
"Adjusting the Carburetor".
Check chain tension frequently
A new chain has to be retensioned more
often than one that has been in use for
some time.
Chain cold
Tension is correct when the chain fits
snugly against the underside of the bar
and can still be pulled along the bar by
hand. Retension if necessary – see
"Tensioning the Saw Chain".
Chain at operating temperature
The chain stretches and begins to sag.
The drive links must not come out of the
bar groove – the chain may otherwise
jump off the bar. Retension the chain –
see "Tensioning the Saw Chain".
NOTICE
The chain contracts as it cools down. If it
is not slackened off, it can damage the
gear shaft and bearings.
After long period of full-throttle operation
Allow engine to run for a short while at
idle speed so that engine heat can be
dissipated by the flow of cooling air. This
protects engine-mounted components
(ignition, carburetor) from thermal
overload.
After Finishing Work
NSlacken off the chain if you have
retensioned it at operating
temperature during cutting work.
NOTICE
Always slacken off the chain after
finishing work. The chain contracts as it
cools down. If it is not slackened off, it
can damage the gear shaft and
bearings.
Storing your saw for a short period
Fit the chain scabbard and allow engine
to cool down. To avoid condensation, fill
the fuel tank and keep the machine in a
dry place, well away from sources of
ignition, until you need it again.

Checking and Replacing the
Chain Sprocket
NRemove chain sprocket cover, saw
chain and guide bar
Replace the chain sprocket
–replace after using two saw chains
or sooner
–if the wear marks (a) on the sprocket
are deeper than approx. 0.5 mm
(0.02 in) since this would reduce the
service life of the saw chain. You
can use a gauge (special
accessory) to check the depth of the
wear marks
Using two saw chains in alternation
helps preserve the chain sprocket.
STIHL recommends the use of original
STIHL chain sprockets.
The chain sprocket is driven via a friction
clutch. Have the chain sprocket replaced
by an authorized dealer.
STIHL recommends that maintenance
and repair work be carried out only by
authorized STIHL dealers.
Maintaining and Sharpening
the Saw Chain
Cutting effortlessly with a correctly
sharpened chain
A properly sharpened chain slices
through wood effortlessly and requires
very little feed pressure.
Do not work with a dull or damaged
chain as it will increase the physical
effort required, produce unsatisfactory
results and a higher rate of wear.
NClean the chain.
NCheck the chain for cracks in the
0000097198_001
links and damaged rivets.
NReplace any damaged or worn
parts of the chain and match the
new parts to the shape and size of
the original parts.
Carbide-tipped saw chains (Duro) are
particularly wear resistant. STIHL
recommends you have your chain
resharpened by a STIHL servicing
dealer.
WARNING
It is absolutely essential to comply with
the angles and dimensions specified
below. If the saw chain is incorrectly
sharpened – and in particular if the depth
gauge is set too low – there is an
increased risk of kickback, with resulting
risk of injury.
The saw chain cannot be locked in place
on the guide bar. Therefore, it is best to
remove the chain from the bar and
resharpen it on a workshop sharpening
tool (FG 2, HOS, USG).

The angles must be the same on all
cutters. If the angles are uneven: Chain
will run roughly, not in a straight line,
wear quickly and finally break.
File holder
NUse a file holder
A file holder must be used for manual
resharpening (see table "Sharpening
Tools"). The correct filing angles are
marked on the file holder.
Use only special saw chain sharpening
files. Other files have the wrong shape
and cut.
For checking angles
Use a STlHL filing gauge (special
accessory, see table "Sharpening
Tools"). This is a universal tool for
checking the filing and side plate angles,
depth gauge setting, cutter length and
groove depth. It also cleans the guide
bar groove and oil inlet holes.
File correctly
NSelect sharpening tools according
to chain pitch.
NIf you use an FG 2, HOS or USG
sharpener: Remove the chain from
the bar and sharpen according to
the instructions supplied with the
tool.
NClamp the bar in a vise if necessary.
NSharpen the chain frequently, take
away as little metal as possible –
two or three strokes of the file are
usually enough.
