with a chain that is blunt or faulty (wrong type or badly
sharpened) will increase the vibration level.
The vibration damping system reduces the vibrations
transmitted from the engine and chain to the handles of
the chain saw. The body of the saw, including the
cutting equipment, is insulated from the handles by
vibration damping units.
WARNING
Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of
gasoline powered hand tools could cause blood vessel
or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of
people prone to circulation disorders or abnormal
swellings. Prolonged use in cold weather has been
linked to blood vessel damage in otherwise healthy
people. If symptoms occur such as numbness, pain,
loss of strength, change in skin color or texture, or loss
of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints, stop the use of
this machine and contact your doctor immediately. An
anti-vibration system does not guarantee the avoidance
of these problems. Owners who operate power tools on
a continual and regular basis must monitor closely their
physical condition and the condition of this tool.
Stop switch
Use the stop switch to shut off the engine.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a
minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the
operator.
WARNING
The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may
contain sparks which can start a fire. Never start the
saw indoors or near combustible material!
In areas with a hot, dry climate there is a high risk of
forest fires. These areas are sometimes controlled by
legislation and requirements that among other things
the muffler (A) must be equipped with an approved type
of spark arrestor mesh (B).

WARNING
The muffler gets very hot in use and remains so for a
short time afterwards. Do not touch the muffler if it is
hot!
Kickback safety features
WARNING
The following features are included on your saw to help
reduce the hazard of kickback; however, such features
will not totally eliminate this danger. As a chain saw
owner, do not rely only on safety devices. You must
follow all safety precautions, instructions, and
maintenance in this manual to help avoid kickback and
other reactive forces which can result in serious or even
fatal injury.
