WARNING: Kickback can lead to
dangerous loss of control of the chain saw
and result in serious or fatal injury to the
saw operator or to anyone standing close
by. Always be alert. Rotational kickback
and pinch-kickback are major chain saw
operational dangers and the leading cause
of most accidents.
Your Chain Saw is provided with a safety
label located on the chain brake lever/hand
guard. This label, along with the safety
instructions on these pages, should be
carefully read before attempting to operate
this unit.
