WARNING! Chain saws can be
dangerous! Careless or improper
use can result in serious or fatal
injury to the operator or others.
Read and follow the Operator's
Manual. Failure to do so could
result in serious injury.
Wear eye and hearing protection
at all times during the operation of
this unit.
Always hold the saw with
both hands.
Beware of Kickback!
Kickback can occur whenever the
14.1
tip of the guide bar touches an
object while the saw is operating.
Kickback may force the bar up and
back toward the operator with a
lightning-fast reaction!
Never let the guide bar
tip come in contact with
any object.
Pinching the saw along the top
of the guide bar may force the
bar rapidly back toward the
operator. Pinching can occur
whenever wood closes in
around the moving chain.
Do not operate this tool if you are
tired, ill or under the influence of
alcohol, drugs, or medicine.
