WARNINGS.
•Always follow the safety instructions given at the front of this manual. This chain saw must only be used for cutting wood. It must not be used for cutting other types of material. Do not use the chain saw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting objects.
•Do not attach the chain saw to a fixed stand.
•Do not attach any devices to the chain saw other than those specified by the manufacturer.
Helpful hints
•Do not force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure whilst running the engine at full throttle.
•If the saw chain gets caught in the cut, do not try to remove it by twisting the guide or pulling forcibly. Use a lever or wedge to open up the cut so that the saw chain is freed.
