Your electric chain saw comes with an Operator’s Manual containing general information on how to safely operate your electric chain saw. It also provides specific information on your particular model.

Read the Operator’s Manual very carefully before operating the electric chain saw.

We work continually to improve our products, and engineering changes and improvements are introduced from time to time. Written notices describing these changes are sent to our dealers. Make a point of asking your dealer to show you the latest design.

STOP WARNING!

Under no conditions should the electric chain saw be modified from its original design without the approval of the manufacturer. Nonauthorized accessories should never be used. Nonauthorized modification and/or accessories can lead to serious injury or death to the operator or to others.

CAUTION!

The noise produced by a chain saw is loud enough to cause permanent hearing impairment after long or continous periods of exposure.

Always wear hearing protection when operating a chain saw.

Thrown Objects

When the motor is running at cutting speed, the saw chain runs at approximately 30 - 35 mph (14 m/s).

It is capable of throwing objects such as chips and small pieces of wood with considerable force, and can cause injury, especially to the eyes.

CAUTION!

Always wear safety goggles or a face shield to minimize the risk of injury from thrown objects

Personal Equipment

Your condition

Never operate an electric chain saw when you are tired, angry, emotionally upset or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medications or anyting which could affect your vision, alertness, coordination or judgement. Cutting wood can be strenuous - check with your doctor before undertaking this kind of work.

Clothing

Proper clothing and equipment (as shown) protect you from potensial hazards such as lacerations, thrown objects and hearing impairment.

Always wear:

•hearing protection

•goggles or face shield

•non-slip gloves

•safety pants or chaps

•boots with steel toecaps and non-skid soles

IMPORTANT!

Personal safety equipment will not prevent all accidents, but it may minimize injury in the event of accident. For your own protection, ask your dealer to show you the latest safety equipment available, such as a hard-hat with face shield end ear protectors, and safety pants or chaps.

Never wear loose-fitting clothing, jewelery, etc., which could catch on the saw and cause serious injury. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
