handed use.

increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not operate a chainsaw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Chain should slow to a stop when the trigger switch is released. If the
chain continues to turn after the trigger switch has been released, have the unit serviced by
your nearest LawnMaster service dealer.
Check for damaged parts, misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts and
mountings, and any other condition that may affect the operation of the tool.
All chainsaw service, other than the items listed in the operation and maintenance sections,
should be performed by your nearest LawnMaster service dealer.
Always maintain a proper stance.
Do not use chainsaw if switch does not turn it on and off. Have defective switch replaced by
authorized service centre.
Do not adapt your chainsaw to a bow guide or use it to power any attachments or devices not
listed for the saw.
Disconnect chainsaw from power supply when not in use, before servicing, and when making
adjustments and changing attachments, such as saw chain and guard.
Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.
Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree, on a ladder, or on scaffolding. Doing so is extremely
dangerous.
NOTE: The size of the work area depends on the job being performed as well as the size of the tree or
workpiece involved. For example, felling a tree requires a larger work area than making bucking cuts.
