1After testing, do not touch the silencer until it has cooled. Risk of burns. This especially applies if

the saw is fitted with a catalytic converter. The coating on and in the catalytic element is hazardous to touch. Use protective gloves when working on the catalytic converter.

Inadequate chain lubrication can result in the chain breaking, which can cause serious or fatal injury.
