OPERATION

WARNING:

 Always wear appropriate eye, hearing, hand, 

foot and body protection to reduce the risk of injury when 

operating this unit. Wear head protection. Use a full face 

shield when needed. Refer to the Safety section for 

appropriate safety equipment information.

The saw chain must be continuously coated with oil to 

function properly.
