English (Original Instructions)

 WARNING

The operation of any power tool can result in foreign 

objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result 

in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool 

operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses 

with side shields and, when needed, a full face shield. 

We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use 

over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side 

shields. Always use eye protection which is marked to 

comply with EN 166.

 WARNING

Long term inhalation of the engine's exhaust fumes, 

chain oil mist and sawdust can result in serious 

personal injury.

Save these instructions and pass them on if the saw is to 

be used by another person.
