KEY TO SYMBOLS

Symbols on the machine:

WARNING! Chain saws can be dangerous! Careless or improper use can result in serious or fatal injury to the operator or others.

Please read the operator’s manual carefully and make sure you understand the instructions before using the machine.

Other symbols/decals on the machine refer to special certiﬁcation requirements for certain markets.

Symbols in the operator’s manual:

Switch off the engine by moving the stop switch to the STOP position before carrying out any checks or maintenance.
