HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION
SDo not smoke while handling fuel or
while operating the saw.
SEliminate all sources of sparks or flame in the areas where fuel is mixed or poured. There should be no smoking,
open flames, or work that could cause sparks. Allow engine to cool before re- fueling.
SMix and pour fuel in an outdoor area on bare ground; store fuel in a cool, dry, well ventilated place; and use an approved, marked container for all fuel purposes. Wipe up all fuel spills before starting saw.
SMove at least 10 feet (3 meters) from fueling site before starting engine.
STurn the engine off and let saw cool in a
move fuel cap and refuel unit.
SStore the unit and fuel in an area where fuel vapors cannot reach sparks or open flames from water heaters, electric mo- tors or switches, furnaces, etc.

KICKBACK
WARNING: Kickback can occur when the moving chain contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into the object, which stops the chain for an instant. The result is a light- ning fast, reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar up and back toward the operator. If the saw chain is pinched along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly

back toward the operator. Either of these reactions can cause loss of saw control which can result in serious injury. Guard
against kickback
Rotational Kickback is the rapid upward and backward motion of the chain saw that can occur when the moving saw chain near the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar contacts an object such as a log or a branch.
