Warning!
As soon as the engine is
running, this product gen-
erates toxic exhaust
fumes containing chemi-
cals, such as unburned
hydrocarbons (including
benzene) and carbon monoxide, that
are known to cause respiratory prob-
lems, cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Some of the gases
(e. g. carbon monoxide) may be color-
less and odorless. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injury/illness from inhal-
ing toxic fumes, never run the machine
indoors or in poorly ventilated locations.
If exhaust fumes become concentrated
due to insufficient ventilation, clear
obstructions from work area to permit
proper ventilation before proceeding
and/or take frequent breaks to allow
fumes to dissipate before they become
concentrated.

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 such as always cutting
with a properly sharpened chain (which
produces 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 recommenda-
tions of EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and
occupational and trade associations
with respect to dust ("particulate mat-
ter"). When the inhalation of dust cannot
be substantially controlled, i.e., kept at
or near the ambient (background) level,
the operator 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 injury,
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!
This power tool has a large range. In
order to reduce the risk of personal or
even fatal injury to bystanders from fall-
ing objects or inadvertent contact with
the moving chain of your power tool
always keep bystanders at least 50 feet
(15 m) away when the power tool is
running.
Warning!
Even though bystanders should be kept
away from the running saw chain, never
work alone. Keep within calling distance
of others in case help is needed.
Stop the engine immediately if you are
approached.
