Operating Instructions
In the event of an emergency, switch off
the motor immediately, move the front
hand guard to
ƒ and remove the
battery.
Warning!
Be sure that the guide bar and chain are
clear of you and all other obstructions
and objects, including the ground. If the
upper quadrant of the tip of the bar
touches any object, it may cause kick-
back to occur (see section on reactive
forces). Never attempt to start the chain
saw when the guide bar is in a cut or
kerf.
Warning!
Use of this product (including sharpen-
ing the saw chain) can generate dust,
mist and fumes containing chemicals
that are known to cause respiratory
problems, cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar
with the risks associated with the partic-
ular dust, mist or fume at issue, consult
your employer, governmental agencies
such as OSHA and NIOSH and other
sources on hazardous materials. Cali-
fornia and some other authorities, for
instance, have published lists of sub-
stances known to cause cancer,
reproductive toxicity, etc.
Warning!
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially
organic dusts such as mold or pollen,
can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Sub-
stantial or repeated inhalation of dust
and other airborne contaminants, in par-
ticular those with a smaller particle size,
may cause respiratory or other ill-
nesses. This includes wood dust,
especially from hardwoods, but also
from some softwoods such as Western
Red Cedar. Control dust (such as saw
dust), mists (such as oil mist from chain
lubrication) and fumes at the source
where possible. Use good work prac-
tices, such as always cutting with a
properly sharpened chain (which pro-
duces wood chips rather than fine dust)
and operating the unit so that the wind
or operating process directs any dust
raised by the power tool away from the
operator. Follow the recommendations
of EPA / OSHA / NIOSH and occupa-
tional and trade associations with
respect to dust ("particulate matter").
When the inhalation of dust cannot be
substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or
near the ambient (background) level,
the operator and any bystanders should
wear a respirator approved by NIOSH /
MSHA for the type of dust encountered.
Warning!
Breathing asbestos dust is dangerous
and can cause severe or fatal injury,
respiratory illness or cancer. The use
and disposal of asbestos-containing
products have been strictly regulated by
OSHA and the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency. If you have any reason to
believe that you might be cutting asbes-
tos, immediately contact your employer
or a local OSHA representative.
Warning!
The saw chain continues to move for a
short period after the trigger switch is
fully released.
Warning!
Your chain saw is equipped with a chain
catcher. It is designed to reduce the risk
of personal injury in the event of a
thrown or broken chain. From time to
time, the catcher may be damaged or
removed. To reduce the risk of personal
injury, do not operate a chain saw with a
damaged or missing chain catcher.
Warning!
Your saw is not designed for prying or
shoveling away limbs, roots or other
objects. Such use could damage the
cutting attachment.
