16. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you have been specifically trained to do so.
17. All chain saw service, other than items listed in the Instruction manual maintenance instructions, should
be performed by competent service personnel. (For example, if improper tools are used to remove the
flywheel or if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural
damage to the flywheel could occur and could subsequently cause the flywheel to burst.)
18. When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard.

the possibility of forest fires. Do not operate the chain saw with a loose or defective muffler. Do not
remove the spark arrestor screen.

otherwise serious property damage or personal injury may result.
Moving parts can amputate fingers or cause severe injuries. Keep hands, clothing and loose objects
away from all openings.
• ALWAYS stop engine, disconnect spark plug, and make sure all moving parts have come to a
complete stop before removing obstructions, clearing debris, or servicing unit.
• DO NOT start or operate unit unless all guards and protective covers are properly assembled to
unit.

through openings.
Using improper replacement components or removing safety devices may result in serious or fatal
injury.

leaks are found, do not use unit, otherwise serious personal injury or property damage may occur.
