To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with care. It is highly
flammable.
Mix and store fuel in a container approved for petrol.
Mix fuel outdoors where there are no risks from sparks or flames.
Select bare ground, stop the engine, and allow it to cool before refuelling.
Loosen the fuel cap slowly to release any pressure and to keep fuel from escaping
around the cap.
Tighten the fuel cap securely after refuelling.
Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 10 m away from refuelling site before starting
engine.
NEVER attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circumstances.
The product is very noisy when operating. To prevent long term hearing damage,
wear hearing protection and keep other persons at least 15 m away from the work
area. Operating similar tools nearby increases risk of injury.
Use of hearing protection reduces the ability to hear warnings (shouts or alarms). The
operator must pay extra attention to what is happening around the work area.
Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead to serious injury. Do not rely
only on the safety devices provided with the saw. As a chainsaw user, you must take
special safety precautions to help keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

which cannot be fully prevented. The following list of potential hazards should be read
and understood. You should pay extra attention and care to these items to reduce the
risk of injury.

Unexpected, abrupt movement (kickback) of the guide bar.
Flying chain parts (thrown off or broken).
Flying material (cut from the work piece).
