Safety Precautions

This special chain
saw shall be used
only by persons
who are trained in
special cutting and
working
techniques.
Due to the special handle
design (closely spaced
handles) there is an
increased risk of injury
using this kind of saw (cut
injuries due to uncon-
trolled reactive forces of
the chain saw). Special
safety precautions must
be observed to reduce
the risk of personal injury
when working with a
chainsaw because of the
very high chain speed
and very sharp cutters.
It is important that you
read the instruction man-
ual before first use and
keep it in a safe place for
future reference. Non-
observance of the
instruction manual may
result in serious or even
fatal injury.
General
Observe all applicable local safety
regulations, standards and ordinances.
