SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Always disconnect spark plug wire and place wire where it can- not contact spark plug to prevent accidental starting when setting up, transporting, ad- justing or making repairs except carburetor adjustments.

Because a chain saw is a high-speed wood- cutting tool, special safety precautions must be observed to reduce the risk of accidents. Careless or improper use of this tool can cause serious injury.

PLAN AHEAD

S Read this manual carefully until you com- pletely understand and can follow all safety rules, precautions, and operating instruc- tions before attempting to use the unit.

SRestrict the use of your saw to adult users who understand and can follow safety rules, precautions, and operating instruc- tions found in this manual.

SWear protective gear. Always use steel- toed safety footwear with non-slip soles; snug-fitting clothing; heavy-duty, non-slip gloves; eye protection such as non-fog- ging, vented goggles or face screen; an approved safety hard hat; and sound barri- ers (ear plugs or mufflers) to protect your hearing. Regular users should have hear- ing checked regularly as chain saw noise can damage hearing. Secure hair above shoulder length.
