_WARNIN_I: When using electric
gardening appliances, basic safety •
precautions must always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
and serious injury. Read and follow all
instructions.
WARNING: Always disconnect
unit from power source when making
repairs, adjustments, and when chang-
ing accessories and attachments such
as saw bar, chain or guards.

dents. Careless or improper use of this
tool can cause serious injury.
PLAN AHEAD •
• Restrict the use of your saw to adult
users who understand and can fol- •
low the safety rules, precautions,
and operating instructions found in
this manual.
• Dress properly. Wear protective gear. •
Always use steel-toed safety foot-
wear with non-slip soles; snug-fitting
clothing; heavy-duty, non-slip gloves;
eye protection such as non-fogging,
vented goggles or face screen; an
approved safety hard hat; and sound
barriers (ear plugs or mufflers) to pro-
tect your hearing. Regular users
should have hearing checked regu-
