SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ELECTRIC UNITS
WARNING:
shock, do not expose the unit to rain or wet conditions.
Store the unit indoors.
• Do not handle the unit, cords, or plugs with wet hands.
• Avoid dangerous environments. Do not operate the unit in the
rain, in wet conditions or on wet surfaces. Moisture is a shock
hazard.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, avoid body contact with
grounded conductors, such as metal pipes or wire fences.
• Do not operate the unit in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
• A nameplate on the unit indicates the voltage used. Never
connect the unit to an AC voltage that differs from this voltage.
• Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire,
electric shock or electrocution.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use
only extension cords approved for outdoor use, such as an
extension cord of cord type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-
A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-W or SJTOW-A. Extension
cords are available from your local retailer. Use only round-
jacketed extension cords approved for outdoor use.
• Do not use multiple extension cords.
• Make sure the extension cord is heavy enough to carry the
current drawn by the unit. An undersized extension cord will
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and
overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

• Make sure the cords are in good condition. Inspect the power
cord and extension cord periodically. Look closely for
deterioration, cuts or cracks in the insulation. If a cord is
damaged in any manner while plugged in, disconnect the cord
from both the outlet and the unit. Do not use a damaged cord.
Damaged cords should be replaced or repaired by an authorized
service center.
• Do not abuse cords. Never pull or carry the unit by a cord. Keep
cords away from heat, oil, water, sharp edges, and moving
objects. Always grasp the plug when disconnecting a cord.
• Never modify a plug, cord or outlet in any way.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be
provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used with this unit.
For an extra measure of safety, use receptacles with built-in
GFCI protection.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, use a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) with a tripping
current of 30 mA or less.
• Keep cords away from the operating area. Position cords so that
they will not be caught or entangled on branches or other
obstacles during operation.
• To prevent tripping, keep cords away from the operator's feet.
• Always disconnect the unit from the power source when it is not
in use.

• Prevent disconnection of the power cord from the extension
cord during operation by using a plug-receptacle retaining strap,
connector, or by making a knot (Fig. B).
Extension Cord Unit Power Cord
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this unit has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). Polarized plugs require
polarized extension cords. The plug fits into the extension cord
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain another
polarized extension cord. Polarized extension cords require
polarized wall outlets. The extension cord fits into the wall outlet
only one way. If the extension cord does not fit fully into the wall
outlet, reverse the plug. If the extension cord still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet.
• This is a double-insulated unit. Two systems of insulation are
provided instead of grounding. There is no grounding provided
and no means of grounding should be added to the unit.
Servicing a double-insulated unit requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system. Service should only be performed by
authorized service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-
insulated unit must be identical to the parts they replace. Failure
to have a double-insulated unit repaired by an authorized
service technician with identical replacement parts could result
in serious injury.
• Since the unit is double-insulated, a 2-wire extension cord (one
without a ground) may be used. However, a 3-wire extension
cord (one with a ground) that uses a NEMA-type connector
(parallel blade, U ground) is recommended.

WHILE OPERATING

• Wear safety glasses or goggles that meet current ANSI / ISEA
Z87.1 standards and are marked as such. Wear ear/hearing
protection when operating this unit. Wear a face mask or dust
mask if the operation is dusty. Use a hard hat or other type of
safety helmet.
• Wear safety boots and protective gloves. Wear heavy, snug-
fitting clothes, including long pants and a long-sleeve shirt. Do
not wear loose clothing, jewelry, short pants, sandals or go
barefoot. Secure hair above shoulder level.
• Make sure the saw chain is not in contact with anything before
starting the unit.
• Use the unit only in daylight or good artificial light.
• Avoid accidental starting. The operator and unit must be in a
stable position while starting. Refer to Starting and Stopping.
• Use the right tool. Only use this tool for its intended purpose: to
cut wood. Do not use the unit for cutting plastic, masonry or
other non-wood building materials. Only use the unit as
described in this manual.
