serious or even fatal injury.

Read and understand the

instruction manual before

using the chain saw.

Always use two hands when operating the chain saw.

SAFETY RULES

WARNING:

Always disconnect

spark plug wire and place wire where it can-

not contact spark plug to prevent accidental

starting when setting up, transporting, ad-

justing or making repairs except carburetor

adjustments.

Because a chain saw is a high-speed wood-

cutting tool, special safety precautions must

be observed to reduce the risk of accidents.

Careless or improper use of this tool can

cause serious injury.
