GENERAL SAFETY RULES
KEEP ALL PARTS OF YOUR BODY away from the saw
chain when the engine is running.
ALWAYS CARRY THE CHAINSAW WITH THE ENGINE
STOPPED AND THE BRAKE ENGAGED,
the guide bar
and saw chain to the rear, and the silencer away from
your body. When transporting the chainsaw, use the
appropriate guide bar scabbard.
DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW THAT IS DAMAGED,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely
assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving
when the throttle control trigger is released.
TURN OFF THE ENGINE before putting the chainsaw down.
DO NOT leave the engine running unattended. As an
additional safety precaution, apply the chain brake
before putting down the saw.
USE EXTREME CAUTION when cutting small-size brush
and saplings because slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped towards you or pull you off balance.
WHEN CUTTING A LIMB under tension, be alert for
spring-back so that you will not be struck when the
tension in the wood fibres is released.
KEEP THE HANDLES dry, clean and free of oil or
fuel mixture.
OPERATE THE CHAINSAW ONLY in well ventilated areas.
DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW IN A TREE unless
you have been specifically trained to do so.
ALL CHAINSAW SERVICE, other than the items listed
in the instruction manual, and all maintenance should
be performed by competent chainsaw service personnel.
(For example, if improper tools are used to remove the
flywheel or if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel
in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the
flywheel may occur and subsequently cause the flywheel
to burst.)
KEEP ALL PARTS OF YOUR BODY away from the saw
chain when the engine is running.
KEEP SAFE-T-TIP ANTI-KICK-BACK NOSE GUARD
properly mounted on the guide bar to prevent rotational
kick-back.
FOLLOW THE SHARPENING and maintenance instructions
for the saw chain.
USE ONLY THE REPLACEMENT GUIDE BARS and low
kick-back chains specified for your saw.
DO NOT adapt the power head to a bow guide or use it to
power any attachments or devices not listed for your saw.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently
and use to instruct other users. If you lend someone this
tool, lend them these instructions too.
