pack is removed. Unexpected starting of the machine while
clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious
personal injury.
Blade Thrust Causes and Related Warnings
Blade thrust is a sudden sideways, forward or backward motion
of the machine, which may occur when the blade jams or catches
on an object such as a sapling or a tree stump. It can be violent
enough to cause the machine and/or operator to be propelled in
any direction, and possibly lose control of the machine.
Blade thrust and its related hazards can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
a ) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the
machine and position your arms to resist blade thrust.
Position your body to the left side of the machine. Blade thrust
can increase the risk of injury due to the machine moving
unexpectedly. Blade thrust can be controlled by the operator if
proper precautions are taken.
b ) If the blade binds, or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, switch the machine off and hold the machine
motionless in the material until the blade comes to
a complete stop. While the blade is binding, never
attempt to remove the machine from the material or
pull the machine backward while the blade is in motion,
otherwise blade thrust may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
c ) Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Blunt or
damaged blades increase the risk of jamming or catching on
an object, resulting in blade thrust.
d ) Always maintain good visibility of the material
being cut. Blade thrust is more likely to occur in areas where it
is difficult to see the material being cut.
e ) If you are approached by another person while
operating the machine, switch the machine off. There is
an increased risk of injury to other persons being struck by the
moving blade in the event of blade thrust.

Additional Safety Information

a ) Always use the shoulder harness when operating.
b ) Always keep the handle between the operator and
blade during operation.
c ) Do not cut material larger than 1.5" (40 mm) diameter.
d ) The blade will continue to spin after the unit is shut
off. Maintain control until the blade has stopped.
e ) Do not operate the unit with a bent, cracked or dull blade.
f ) Do not sharpen the blade.
g ) Do not use for edging. This is not an edger.
h ) KEEP ALL BYSTANDERS AWAY – at a safe distance
from work area, especially children. MAKE SURE that
other persons and pets are at least 100' (30 m) away.

WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it.
Damage or personal injury could result.

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses
are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if operation is
dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust contains chemicals known to
State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• compounds in fertilizers,
• compounds in insecticides, herbicides and pesticides,
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, wear approved
safety equipment such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust
to get into your mouth, eyes, or lie on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or
disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA
