General Safety Warnings
Most accidents involving product operation, maintenance and repair are caused by failure to
observe basic safety rules and precautions. Accidents can often be avoided by recognizing
potentially hazardous situations before an incident occurs.
WARNING
 Before operating the saw, make sure all protective guards are securely
in place. All saws are supplied with a blade guard, collar guard and belt
guard.
 Whenever necessary, replace operation and safety decals if they
become difficult to read
 Verify the engine start switch is set to the OFF position before installing
a blade.
 Make sure the operator knows how to turn the engine OFF in case of
an emergency.
 Do not go near rotating parts (blades, belts, pulleys or wheels) while
engine is running.
 Muffler and exhaust gases are extremely hot. Stay clear of muffler and
exhaust gases. Allow these parts to cool before servicing the saw .
 Stay clear of the saw while it is being hoisted.
 Anytime the saw is lifted onto its nose, or tilted fully back, for
maintenance access, the high end MUST be blocked up to prevent the
possibility of crush injury
!
 Allow the engine to cool before adding fuel or performing service and
maintenance functions. Contact with HOT components can cause
serious burns
.
 Never operate the saw in any enclosed or narrow area where free flow
of air is restricted. If the airflow is restricted it will cause serious
damage to the saw’s engine and may cause injury to people.
Remember the saw’s engine gives off DEADLY carbon monoxide gas.
 ALWAYS refuel in a well-ventilated area; away from sparks and open
flame. Avoid “topping off” the filler port as spills can result.
 ALWAYS use extreme caution when working with flammable liquids.
When refueling, STOP the engine and allow it to cool.
 NEVER smoke around or near the machine. Fire or explosion could
result from fuel vapors, or if fuel is spilled on a HOT engine.
 NEVER operate the saw in an explosive atmosphere where fumes are
present or near combustible materials. An explosion or fire could
result causing severe bodily harm or even death
.
 NEVER use fuel as a cleaning agent.
