IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS W A R N I N G Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have read all of the instructions, safety information, etc. contained in this manual thoroughly and understand them completely. Failure to comply may result in accidents involving fire, electric shock, or serious personal injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Do not expose the chainsaw to rain. • Do not use the chainsaw in damp or wet locations. • To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES • Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead to serious injury. Kickback may occur when the moving chain contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar, or when the wood closes in and pinches the chain in the cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into the object and stop the chain for an instant.
