IMPORTANT

Do not put the chain saw on the ground when the chain is still moving. For additional safety, set the chain brake when the saw is not in use.

In the event that the ignition switch will not stop the saw, pull the choke knob out to the fully extended position "FULL CHOKE" and engage chain brake to stop the engine. If the ignition switch will not stop the saw when set to the "STOP" position, have the ignition switch repaired before using the chain saw again to prevent unsafe conditions or serious injury.

NOTE

When you are finished using the saw, always relieve tank pressure by loosening, then retightening, the chain oil and fuel mix caps. Allow the engine to cool before storing.

Carburetor anti-freeze mechanism

Operating the chain saws in temperatures of 0–5°C at times of high humidity may result in ice forming within the carburetor, and this in turn may cause the output power of the engine to be reduced or for the engine to fail to operate smoothly.

This product has accordingly been designed with a ventilation hatch on the right side of the surface of the cylinder cover to allow warm air to be supplied to the engine and to thereby prevent icing from occurring.

Under normal circumstances the product should be used in normal operating mode, i.e., in the mode to which it is set at the time of shipment. However when the possibility exists that icing may occur, the unit should be set to operate in anti-freeze mode before
