GENERAL SAFETY RULES

■KEEP ALL PARTS OF YOUR BODY away from the saw chain when the engine is running.

■ALWAYS CARRY THE CHAINSAW WITH THE ENGINE STOPPED AND THE BRAKE ENGAGED, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the silencer away from your body. When transporting the chainsaw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard.

■DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW THAT IS DAMAGED, improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released.

■TURN OFF THE ENGINE before putting the chainsaw down. DO NOT leave the engine running unattended. As an additional safety precaution, apply the chain brake before putting down the saw.

■USE EXTREME CAUTION when cutting small-size brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

■WHEN CUTTING A LIMB under tension, be alert for spring-back so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibres is released.

■KEEP THE HANDLES dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.

■OPERATE THE CHAINSAW ONLY in well-ventilated areas.

■DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW IN A TREE unless you have been specifically trained to do so.

■ALL CHAINSAW SERVICE, other than the items listed in the instruction manual, and all maintenance should be performed by competent chainsaw service personnel. (For example, if improper tools are used to remove the flywheel or if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could occur and subsequently cause the flywheel to burst.)

■KEEP SAFE-T-TIP® ANTI-KICK-BACK NOSE GUARD properly mounted on the guide bar to prevent rotational kick-back.

■FOLLOW THE SHARPENING and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.

■USE ONLY THE REPLACEMENT GUIDE BARS and low kick-back chains specified for your saw.

■DO NOT adapt your powerhead to a bow guide or use it to power any attachments or devices not listed for your saw.

■SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use to instruct other users. If you lend someone this tool, lend them these instructions also.
