WARNING:

Do not attempt to operate this unit until you have read thoroughly and understand com- pletely all instructions, safety information, etc. contained in this manual. Failure to comply can result in accidents involving fire, electric shock, or serious personal injury.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Donotstartcuttinguntilyouhaveaclearworkarea, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree. Cluttered areas invite accidents.

Keep ALL children, bystanders, visitors, and animals out of the work area while starting or cutting with the chain saw. Do not let visitors contact chain saw or extension cord.

Do not operate chain saw in explosive atmo- spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Chain saws create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

WARNING: Use outdoor extension cords marked SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

Polarized Plugs. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condi- tion. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Inspect extension cords periodically and, if damaged, have repaired by a licensed electri- cian. Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

Dress Properly - Wear snug fitting clothing. Always wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves, overalls, jeans or chaps made of cut resistant material or ones that contain cut resistant inserts. Wear non-slip safety footwear. Wear non-slip heavy duty gloves to improve your grip and to protect your hands. Do not wear jewelry, short pants, sandals, or go barefoot. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, which could be drawn into the motor or catch the chain or underbrush. Secure hair so it is above shoulder level. Wear hearing and head protection.

Heavy protective clothing may increase operator fatigue, which could lead to heat stroke. During weather that is hot and humid, heavy work should be scheduled for early morning or late afternoon hours when temperatures are cooler.

Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 as well as head protection when operating this equipment.

Always be aware of what you are doing when using the chain saw. Use common sense. Do not operate the chain saw when you are tired, ill, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.

Do not expose the chain saw to rain.

Do not use the chain saw in damp or wet locations.

Always be aware of extension cord while oper- ating chain saw. Take precautions to avoid tripping over cord. Keep cord away from chain and operator at all times. Never carry saw by the cord or pull it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from oil and sharp edges.

Stay alert and pay attention to what you are doing. Use common sense when using this unit.

Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the unit is running.

Always carry the chain saw by the front handle with the unit unplugged and the guide bar and saw chain positioned to the rear. When
