ALWAYS allow the machine a proper amount of time to cool before servicing.

Keep the machinery in proper running condition.

Fix damage to the machine immediately and ALWAYS replace broken parts.

Dispose of hazardous waste properly. Examples of potentially hazardous waste are used motor oil, fuel and fuel filters.

When transporting of the saw is required, place saw directly inside towing vehicle truck-bed and tie-down securely. NEVER tow saw directly behind towing vehicle.

DO NOT use the saw on slopes or on extremely un-level surfaces. An engine tipped to extreme angles may cause oil to gravitate into the cylinder head making the engine start difficult.

NEVER transport the saw with the blade mounted.

Emergencies

In emergencies ALWAYS know the location of the nearest phone or keep a phone on the job site. Also know the phone numbers of the nearest ambulance, doctor and fire department. This information will be invaluable in the case of an emergency.
