SAFETY NOTICE:
Exposure
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, discontinue the use
of this tool and seek medical attention. An
anti-vibration system does not guarantee the
avoidance of these problems. Users who
operate power tools on a continual and
regular basis must monitor closely their
physical condition and the condition of this
tool.

SPECIAL NOTICE:

Your saw is equipped
with a temperature limiting muffler and spark
arresting screen which
requirements of California Codes 4442 and
U.S.
4443. All forest land and the states of
California, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New
Jersey, Oregon, and Washington require
many internal combustion engines to be
equipped with a spark arresting screen by
law. If you operate a chain saw in a state or
locale where such regulations exist, you are
legally responsible for maintaining the
operating condition of these parts. Failure to
do so is a violation of the law. Refer to the
SERVICE section for maintenance of the
spark arresting screen.
Failure to follow all Safety Rules and Precau-
tions can result in serious injury. If situations
occur which are not covered in this manual,
use care and good judgement. If you need
assistance, contact your authorized service
dealer.

meets the
just the tension of the chain. It is very im-
portant when assembling the bar, that the
pin located on the adjusting screw aligns
