I. RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
WARNING:
START WITH BLADE OFF THE GROUND
This blade is a free spinning blade that will be lowered on to the cut. NEVER start the saw with the blade touching the ground
or any surface.
KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE
ALWAYS keep guards in place. In order to prevent injury, keep guards in place and in working order at all times.
EXPLOSIVE FUEL!
Gasoline is extremely flammable, its vapors can explode if ignited; store only in approved containers, in well-ventilated,
unoccupied buildings and away from sparks or flames. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running or hot. Spilled fuel
could ignite if it contacts hot parts or sparks from ignition. Do not start the engine near spilled fuel. Never use gasoline as a
cleaning agent. Never operate the machine in an explosive atmosphere.
LETHAL EXHAUST GASES
Engine exhaust gasses contain poisonous carbon monoxide, an odorless colorless gas that can cause death if inhaled. Avoid
inhaling exhaust fumes, and never run the engine in a closed building or confined area.
ENGINE OVER-SPEED
Never tamper with the governor components or settings to increase the maximum speed of the machine. Severe personal injury
and/or equipment damage could result if the equipment is operated speeds above design maximum.
ROTATING OR MOVING PARTS
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never operate a power tool with shrouds or
guards removed.
HOT PARTS
Engine components can become extremely hot from operation. To prevent severe burns, do not touch these areas while the
engine is running, or immediately after it is turned off. Never operate the engine with heat shields removed.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES
Safety glasses should always be worn when working around power tools. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses and may not prevent eye injury; they are NOT safety glasses.
