Understanding Safety Labels
State and Local Requirements
Your saw is equipped with a temperature limiting muffler, a spark
arresting screen and dual bucking spikes in order to comply with
the requirements of SAE Recommended Practice J335 and
California Codes 4442 and 4443. All national forest land and
land managed by the states of California, Maine, Washing-
ton, and Oregon require internal combustion engines to be
equipped with a spark arrester screen by law. Other states
and federal agencies are enacting similar regulations.
If you operate a chain saw in a state or locale where such
regulations exist, you are legally responsible for maintaining the
operating condition of these parts. Failure to do so is a violation
of a law. Spark arrester maintenance is described in the
Maintenance-Spark Arresting Muffler Section of the manual.
Your manual contains special messages to
bring attention to potential safety concerns,
machine damage as well as helpful operat-
ing and servicing information. Please read
all the information carefully to avoid injury
and machine damage.
WARNING
Muffler surfaces are very hot during and after operation
of the chain saw, keep all body parts away from the
muffler. Serious burns may occur if contact is made
with the muffler.
Wear non-slip, heavy-duty protective gloves
when handling the chain saw and saw chain.
WARNING
Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of gaso-
line powered hand tools could cause blood vessel or
nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and wrists of
people prone to circulation disorders or abnormal swell-
ings. Prolonged use in cold weather has been linked to
blood vessel damage in otherwise healthy people. If
symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss of
strength, change in skin color or texture, or loss of
feeling in the fingers, hands, or wrists, discontinue the
use of this tool and seek medical attention.
