GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! 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.
For Canada only:
WARNING! When using a chain saw, a
!
fire extinguisher should be available.
WARNING! Keep handles dry, clean and
!
free of oil.
WARNING! Beware of carbon monoxide
!
poisoning. Operate the chainsaw in well
ventilated areas only.
WARNING! Do not attempt a pruning or
!
limbing operation in a standing tree
unless specifically trained to do so.
