modifications and/or accessories can

 

result in serious personal injury or the

 

death of the operator or others.

WARNING! A chain saw is a dangerous ! tool if used carelessly or incorrectly and

can cause serious, even fatal injuries. It is very important that you read and understand the contents of this operator’s manual.

WARNING! The inside of the muffler ! contain chemicals that may be

carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these elements in the event of a damaged muffler.

WARNING! Long term inhalation of the ! engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and dust from sawdust can represent a

health risk.

This field may under some circumstances interfere with active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their physician and the medical implant manufacturer before operating this machine.

WARNING! Never allow children to use or ! be in the vicinity of the machine. As the

machine is equipped with a spring- loaded stop switch and can be started by low speed and force on the starter handle, even small children under some circumstances can produce the force necessary to start the machine. This can mean a risk of serious personal injury. Therefore remove the spark plug cap when the machine is not under close supervision.
