Instruction Manual

issue, consult your employer, governmental
agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and
other sources on hazardous materials.
California and some other authorities, for
instance, have published lists of
substances known to cause cancer,
reproductive toxicity, etc.
WARNING: Inhalation of certain
dusts, especially organic dusts such
as mold or pollen, can cause susceptible
persons to have an allergic or asthmatic
reaction. Substantial or repeated inhalation
of dust and other airborne contaminants, in
particular those with a smaller particle size,
may cause respiratory or other illnesses.
This includes wood dust, especially from
hardwoods, but also from some softwoods
such as Western Red Cedar. Control dust
(such as saw dust) and mists (such as oil
mist from chain lubrication) at the source
where possible. Use good work practices,
such as always cutting with a properly
sharpened saw chain (which produces
wood chips rather than fine dust) and
operating the unit so that the wind or
operating process directs any dust raised
by the chain saw away from the operator.
Follow the recommendations of
EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and occupational and
trade associations with respect to dust
("particulate matter"). When the inhalation
of dust cannot be substantially controlled,
i.e., kept at or near the ambient
(background) level, the operator and any
bystanders should wear a respirator
approved by NIOSH / MSHA for the type of
dust encountered.
WARNING: Breathing asbestos dust
is dangerous and can cause severe
or fatal injury, respiratory illness or cancer.
The use and disposal of
asbestos-containing products have been
strictly regulated by OSHA and the
Environmental Protection Agency. Do not
use your chain saw to cut or disturb
asbestos or asbestos-containing products.
If you have any reason to believe that you
might be cutting asbestos, immediately
stop cutting and contact your employer or a
local OSHA representative.
Operating Instructions

down.
WARNING: Always remove the
battery before putting the saw
WARNING: The saw chain
continues to move for a short period
after the trigger switch is fully released.
WARNING: Your chain saw is
equipped with a chain guard. It is
designed to reduce the risk of personal
injury in the event of a thrown or broken
chain. From time to time, the guard may be
damaged or removed. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, do not operate a chain saw
with a damaged or missing chain guard.
If this chain saw is subjected to unusually
high loads for which it was not designed
(e.g. heavy impact or a fall), always check
that it is in good condition before continuing
work. Check in particular that the controls
and safety devices are working properly. Do
not continue operating this chain saw if it is
damaged.
Your chain saw is not designed for prying or
shoveling away limbs, roots or other
objects. Such use could damage the cutting
attachment.
