regarding the permissible dimensions of work pieces.

Do not cut pieces having an irregular cross section, such as firewood, because such pieces cannot be held securely during cutting and pose serious danger to the operator.

Any use other than the use specified above, any alteration, modification, use of used spare parts, use of non-OEM spare or replacement parts, use of other parts and components not specifically approved by the manufacturer, may cause unforeseeable danger, may result in damage and/or personal injury. Any of the above will void the machine war- ranty.

The manufacturer, its agents, subsidiar- ies, distributors or dealers shall have no liability whatsoever for injuries or dam- age caused entirely or in part through use other than the use specified above, any alteration, modification, use of used spare parts, use of non-OEM spare or replacement parts, use of other parts and components not specifically approved by the manufacturer.
