Safety instructions for the cutting equipment
WARNING Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• Only use the guide bar/saw chain combinations and
filing equipment that we recommend. Refer to
Accessories on page 34 for instructions.
• Use protective gloves when you use or do
maintenance on the saw chain. A saw chain that
does not move can also cause injuries.
• Keep the cutting teeth correctly sharpened. Obey the
instructions and use the recommended file gauge. A
saw chain that is damaged or incorrectly sharpened
increases the risk of accidents.
• Keep the correct depth gauge setting. Obey the
instructions and use the recommended depth gauge
setting. Too large depth gauge setting increases the

and chain drive sprocket. Refer to

• Do maintenance on the cutting equipment regularly

bar, saw chain and chain drive sprocket increases.
