All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the owner's manual mainte-
nance instructions, should be performed by trained Shindaiwa chain saw
service personnel. (For example, if improper tools are used to remove the
flywheel , or if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in order to remove
the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could occur and could subse-
quently cause the flywheel to burst.)
Read and follow the Operator's
Manual. Failure to do so could
result in serious injury.
Wear eye and hearing protection
at all times during the operation
of this unit.
Do not operate this tool if you
are tired, ill or under the
influence of alcohol, drugs, or
medicine.
Beware of Kickback! Kickback
can occur whenever the tip of
the guide bar touches an object
while the saw is operating.
Kickback may force the bar up
and back toward the operator
with a lightning-fast reaction!
Pinching the saw along the top
of the guide bar may force the
bar rapidly back toward the
operator. Pinching can occur
whenever wood closes in
around the moving chain.
