KEY TO SYMBOLS

Symbols on the machine:

WARNING! Chain saws can be dangerous! Careless or improper use can result in serious or fatal injury to the operator or others.

Please read the operator’s manual carefully and make sure you understand the instructions before using the machine.

Always wear:

Both of the operator′s hands must be used to operate the chain saw.

Never operate a chain saw holding it with one hand only.

Contact of the guide bar tip with any object must be avoided.

Tip contact may cause the guide bar to move suddenly upward and backward (so-called kickback), which may cause serious injury.

WARNING! Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, and cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and towards the operator. May cause serious personal injury.

Other symbols/decals on the machine refer to special certification requirements for certain markets.
