IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR DOUBLE-INSULATED CHAIN SAWS
1) Replacement Parts
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Caution: When replacing the saw chain, obey the
following instructions:
a) Replacement chain must be designated as meeting ANSI B175 kickback
performance requirements when used on that specific chain saw.
b) Replacement chain has been designated as “Low-Kickback” in
accordance with ANSI B175.1; or
c) Replacement chain is the manufacturer’s recommended replacement.
NOTE: A
Low-Kickback saw chain is one which has met the kickback
performance requirements of ANSI B175.1 when tested on a
representative sample of chain saws.
2) Polarized plugs
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this chain saw has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other and will require the use of a polarized
extension cord. The chain saw plug will fit into a polarized extension cord
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse
the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension
cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall
outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet.
Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or
extension cord plug in any way.
FOR ALL CHAIN SAWS
1) Keep Work Area Clean
Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do not start cutting until you have a clear
work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree.
2) Consider Work Area Environment
Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings
because the slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless specifically trained to do so.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back so that
you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibres is released.
Don’t expose chain saw to rain. Don’t use chain saw in damp or wet
locations. Do not use chain saw in presence of flammable liquids or
gases.
3) Prevent Electric Shocks
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example: metal pipes,
wire fences and posts.
Read All Instructions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
