Warning!
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially
organic dusts such as mold or pollen,
can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Sub-
stantial or repeated inhalation of dust
and other airborne contaminants, in par-
ticular those with a smaller particle size,
may cause respiratory or other ill-
nesses. This includes wood dust,
especially from hardwoods, but also
from some softwoods such as Western
Red Cedar. Control dust at the source
where possible. Use good work prac-
tices, such as always cutting with a
properly sharpened chain (which pro-
duces wood chips rather than fine dust)
and operating the unit so that the wind
or operating process directs any dust
raised by the power tool away from the
operator. Follow the recommendations
of EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and occupational
and trade associations with respect to
dust ("particulate matter"). When the
inhalation of dust cannot be substan-
tially controlled, i.e., kept at or near the
ambient (background) level, the opera-
tor and any bystanders should wear a
respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA
for the type of dust encountered.

Warning!
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous
and can cause severe or fatal illness,
respiratory illness or cancer. The use
and disposal of asbestos-containing
products have been strictly regulated by
OSHA and the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency. If you have any reason to
believe that you might be cutting asbes-
tos, immediately contact your employer
or a local OSHA representative.
Warning!
To reduce risk of elec-
trocution, take extra
precautions when cutting
near power lines. Have
the power switched off
before starting cutting
work in the immediate vicinity of power
lines.
Operating Instructions
Warning!
Do not operate your chain saw with the
starting throttle lock engaged. Cutting
with the starting throttle lock engaged
does not permit the operator proper
control of the saw or chain speed. Begin
cutting with the saw at full throttle,
engage the bumper spike firmly in the
wood (if possible) and then continue
cutting. Always work with the bumper
spike so that you have better control of
the saw. If you work without the bumper
spike the saw may pull you forwards
suddenly.
Warning!
Never touch a chain with your hand or
any part of your body when the engine
is running, even when the chain is not
rotating.
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the engine immediately – move the
master control lever to 0 or STOP.
Warning!
Always stop the engine before putting a
chain saw down.
Warning!
The saw chain continues to move for a
short period after the throttle trigger is
released (flywheel effect).
Accelerating the engine while the saw
chain is blocked increases the load and
will cause the clutch to slip continuously.
This may occur if the throttle is
depressed for more than a few seconds
when the chain is pinched in the cut or
the chain brake is engaged. It can result
in overheating and damage to important
components (e. g. clutch, polymer
housing components) – which can then
increase the risk of injury, e. g., from the
saw chain moving while the engine is
idling.
