■ NEVER touch the hot exhaust manifold, muffler or cylinder. Allow
these parts to cool before
servicing engine or saw.
■ High Temperatures – Allow the engine to cool before adding
fuel or performing service and maintenance functions. Contact
with hot components can cause serious burns.
■ The engine section of this saw requires an adequate free flow
of cooling air. NEVER operate the saw in any enclosed or
narrow area where free flow of the air is
restricted. If the air flow is restricted it
will cause serious damage to the saw
or engine and may cause injury to
people. Remember the saw's engine
gives off DEADLY carbon monoxide
gas.
■ ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area, away from sparks
and open flames.
■ ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with flammable
liquids. When refueling, stop the engine and allow it to cool.
DO NOT smoke around or near the machine. Fire or explosion
could result from fuel vapors, or if fuel is
spilled on a hot engine.
■ NEVER operate the saw in an explosive
atmosphere or near combustible materials.
An explosion or fire could result causing
severe bodily harm or even death.
■ Topping-off to the fuel filler port is dangerous, as it tends to
spill fuel.
■ NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.
