WARNING
§ Before operating the saw, make sure all protective guards are
securely in place. Multiquip saws are supplied with a blade guard,
collar guard and belt guard.
§ Whenever necessary, replace operation and safety decals if they
become difficult to read.
§ Verify the engine start switch is set to the OFF position before
installing a blade.
§ Make sure the operator knows how to turn the engine OFF in case
of an emergency.
§ Do not go near rotating parts (blades, belts, pulleys or wheels)
while engine is running.
§ Catalytic muffler and exhaust gases are extremely hot. Stay clear
of muffler and exhaust gases. Allow these parts to cool before
servicing the saw.
§ Stay clear of the saw while it is being hoisted.
§ Anytime the saw is lifted onto its nose, or tilted fully back, for
maintenance access, the high end MUST be blocked up to prevent
the possibility of crush injury!
§ Allow the engine to cool before adding fuel or performing service
and maintenance functions. Contact with HOT components can
cause serious burns.
§ Never operate the saw in any enclosed or narrow area where free
flow of air is restricted. If the air flow is restricted it will cause
serious damage to the saw’s engine and may cause injury to
people. Remember the saw’s engine gives off DEADLY carbon
monoxide gas.
§ ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area; away from sparks and
open flame. Avoid “topping off” the filler port as spills can result.
§ ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with flammable
liquids. When refueling, STOP the engine and allow it to cool.
§ NEVER smoke around or near the machine. Fire or explosion
could result from fuel vapors, or if fuel is spilled on a HOT engine.
§ NEVER operate the saw in an explosive atmosphere where fumes
are present or near combustible materials. An explosion or fire
could result causing severe bodily harm or even death.
§ NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.
