If the Ignition Switch will not stop the saw when set to the stop “ O ” position, have the Ignition Switch repaired before using the chain saw again to prevent unsafe conditions or serious injury.

Important: When you are finished using the saw, relieve tank pressures by loosening the CHAIN OIL and FUEL MIX caps. Then retighten the caps. Allow the engine to cool before storing.
