 DO NOT install or remove the blade guard with
the engine running.
 Always use a blade guard that corresponds with
the blade size.
 Inspect the blade guard and water tubes prior to
starting the saw. Clean or replace
dirty/damaged components immediately.
 When lowering the front part of the blade guard,
pivot it cautiously and slowly to avoid serious
injuries.
Fuel Safety
 Always use caution when refueling.
 Store all fuel in appropriate safety containers.
 DO NOT operate the saw with a fuel leak.
 DO NOT fuel the saw with the engine running.
 Let the engine cool prior to adding fuel.
 Refer to the engine manual for recommended
fuels.
 Always use appropriate fuels in cold weather.
 Move the saw away from the refueling area
prior to starting the engine.
 DO NOT smoke or expose fuel to
open flames when filling the fuel
tank or working with fuel.
 Clean up any spilled fuel prior to starting the
engine.
 Drain the fuel tank and fuel lines when storing
the saw for longer periods of time. Refer to the
engine manual for additional recommendations.
 Fuel may seep out from the fuel cap vent
(applicable models) when raising the saw if the
fuel tank has been overfilled.
Engine Safety
 Refer to the engine manual as the primary
source for engine safety.
 Always know how to turn off the engine quickly
for emergency purposes.
 Make sure the speed control lever (applicable
models) is at Neutral when starting the engine.
 Fill the fuel tank and check the oil level prior to
starting the engine.
 Keep all body parts away from
rotating parts with the engine
running.
 DO NOT start the engine without the air filter(s)
installed.
 DO NOT allow dust to enter the air intake tube
when cleaning/replacing air filter(s).
 Immediately replace damaged saw components
that may allow dust to enter the engine.
 DO NOT leave the engine/motor running
unattended.
 Always operate the saw in well-
ventilated areas. Concentrated
engine exhaust can cause loss of
consciousness and/or death.
 DO NOT operate the saw around combustible
materials or fumes to prevent fires/explosions.
 DO NOT leave the saw unattended until the
engine is off and the blade has stopped
spinning.
 DO NOT touch the engine/muffler assembly
with the engine running, and always let them
cool down prior to touching or servicing the
saw.
 Handle hot oil carefully when changing the oil.
 Wipe down the engine/motor exterior and
guards daily or regularly to prevent high
operating temperatures.
 DO NOT spray the engine/motor with water to
prevent engine/motor damage.
 Let the engine cool prior to
removing pressurized caps
(applicable models).
 Clean the engine cooling system regularly to
prevent high operating temperatures.
 DO NOT use any starter substances or starter
fluids (e.g., starter fluid sprayed into the air
filter) when starting the engine using a glow
plug (applicable models). These materials are
extremely flammable and explosive, and can
melt parts or possibly explode when used to
help start the engine.
Cutting Safety
 The direct work area should not contain buried
or embedded electrical, gas, or water lines that
could be damaged and/or cause personal injury
while cutting.
 Turn off all electricity, gas, and water around
the direct work area prior to cutting.
