Warning!
Proper tension of the chain is extremely
important. In order to avoid improper
setting, the tensioning procedure must
be followed as described in your
manual. Always make sure the
hexagonal nut(s) for the sprocket cover
is (are) tightened securely after
tensioning the chain. Never start the saw
with the sprocket cover loose. Check
chain tension once more after having
tightened the nut(s) and thereafter at
regular intervals (whenever the saw is
shut off). If the chain becomes loose
while cutting, shut off the motor and then
tighten. Never try to adjust the chain
while the motor is running!
!
Warning!
After adjusting a chain, start the saw, let
the motor run for a while, then switch
motor off and recheck chain tension.
Proper chain tension is very important at
all times.

To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury
from electrocution, never use your
machine if casing around motor is
cracked or damaged.

Warning!
The electrical power voltage must agree
with the voltage specified on the saw's
name plate. Improper voltage may
cause the motor to overheat, which will
damage the saw and may cause
personal injury.
!
Warning!

electrocution never work
in rain or wet places - the
electric motor is not
waterproof! Do not leave
the chain saw outdoors in
the rain and do not operate it if it shows
any signs of dampness.
!
Warning!
To reduce the risk of personal injury from
fire and explosion, do not use the saw in
the presence of flammable liquids or
gases. The sparks from an electric saw
may be a source of ignition!
!
Warning!
Inspect the power cable
before and after each use
for signs of damage or
aging. In order to reduce
the risk of serious or fatal
injury from electrocution,
never use your machine if the power
cable is cut, cracked, worn or damaged.
Turn off power at saw, disconnect the
plug immediately and have dealer
replace such a cable.
Avoid damage to the power cable. Keep
it away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Never jerk power cable to disconnect the
plug from the wall outlet. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cable.
Extension cords
