The use of any chain saw may be hazardous. At full throttle chain speed can reach 45 mph (20 m/s). It is important that you read; fully understand and observe

the following safety precautions and warnings. Read the Owner's Manual and the safety instructions

periodically.

WARNING !

Reactive forces, including kickback, can be dan- gerous. Careless or improper useof any chainsaw may cause serious or fatal injury.

Haveyour MAKlTAdealer showyou howto operate your chain saw. Observe all applicable localsafety regulations, standards and ordinances.

Contact of the guide bar tip with any object should be avoided! Tip contact may causethe guide bar to move suddenly upward and backward,which maycause serious injury!

Always use two hands when operating the chain saw!

KICKBACK.

WARNINGI

Minors should never be allowed to use a chain saw.

Bystanders,especiallychildrenand animalsshould not be allowed in the area where a chain saw is in use (fig. 1).

Never let the saw run unattended.

Store it in a locked place away from children. Fill the fuel tank to 7/8 th full (see storing the saw). Do not lend your chain saw without this Owner's and Safety Manual. Be sure that anyone using your saw understands the information given.

WARNING !

Prolongeduseof chainsaws exposingtheoperator to vibrations may produce Whitefinger disease (Raynaud's phenomenon). This phenomenon reduces the hand's ability to feel and regulate temperature, produces numbness and burning sensations and may cause nerve and circulation damage and tissue necrosis.

All MAKITA saws are therefore provided with an antivibration system which is essential for those using chain saws on a regular or sustained basis. Antivibrationsystems do not guaranteethat you will not sustain Whitefinger disesase, however, they reduce this danger considerably. Nevertheless, continual and regular users should observe their hands and fingers and in case of any abnormal symptoms, seek medical advice immediately.
