ARNING! Under no circumstances
may the design of the machine be
modified without the permission of the
manufacturer. Always use genuine
accessories. Non-authorized
modifications and/or accessories can
result in serious personal injury or the
death of the operator or others.

W
ARNING! A chain saw is a dangerous
tool if used carelessly or incorrectly and
can cause serious, even fatal injuries. It
is very important that you read and
understand the contents of this
operator’s manual.
!
W
ARNING! The inside of the muffler
contain chemicals that may be
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these
elements in the event of a damaged
muffler.
!
W
ARNING! Long term inhalation of the
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist
and dust from sawdust can represent a
health risk.
!
W
ARNING! The ignition system of this
machine produces an electromagnetic
field during operation. This field may
under some circumstances interfere
with pacemakers. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injury, we recommend
persons with pacemakers to consult
their physician and the pacemaker
manufacturer before operating this
machine.
!
W
ARNING! Never allow children to use
or be in the vicinity of the machine. As
the machine is equipped with a spring-
loaded stop switch and can be started
by low speed and force on the starter
handle, even small children under some
circumstances can produce the force
necessary to start the machine. This can
mean a risk of serious personal injury.
Therefore remove the spark plug cap
when the machine is not under close
supervision.
