WARNING
• DO NOT expose yourself or
anyone else to the direct line
of the blade when operating
the saw.
• DO NOT leave the engine/motor running
unattended.
• Operate the saw in well-
ventilated areas.
Concentrated engine
exhaust can cause loss of
consciousness and/or death.
• All electric motor saws should be properly
grounded prior to operating.
Engine Governor (Gas Models)
The engine governor (located at the top of the
engine) is factory set for an engine speed of 3,600
RPM. DO NOT change this setting to prevent
engine damage. Occasionally measure the engine
speed and adjust to the factory setting, as
necessary, following the steps below:
1. Use a handheld tachometer or other
appropriate device to measure the engine
speed at the engine crankshaft.
2. Adjust the engine governor to correct the
engine speed.
