Always stop the engine before putting a
chainsaw down or carrying it. Carrying a
chainsaw with the engine running is
extremely dangerous.
Accidental acceleration of the engine
can cause the chain to rotate. During
operation, the powerhead muffler and
the material around it reach extremely
high temperatures. Avoid touching the
hot muffler, you could receive serious
burns.
%\ KDQG When carrying your saw by
hand, the engine must be stopped and
the saw must be in the proper position.
Grip the front handle and place the
muffler away from the body.
The chain guard (scabbard) should be
over the chain and the guide bar, which
should point backwards. When carrying
your saw, the bar should be behind you.
%\ YHKLFOH When transporting in a
vehicle, keep chain and bar covered with
the chain guard. Properly secure your
saw to prevent turnover, fuel spillage
and damage to the saw.
