State and Local Requirements

Your saw is equipped with a temperature limiting muffler, a spark arresting screen and a bucking spike
in order to comply with the requirements of SAE Recommended Practice J335 and California Codes
4442 and 4443. All national forest land and land managed by the states of California, Maine,
Washington, Idaho, Minnesota, New Jersey and Oregon require internal combustion engines to
be equipped with a spark arrester screen by law. Other states and federal agencies are enacting
similar regulations.
If you operate a chain saw in a state or locale where such regulations exist, you are legally responsible
for maintaining the operating condition of these parts. Failure to do so is a violation of a law. Spark
arrester maintenance is described in the Maintenance-Spark Arresting Muffler Section of the
manual.
Note: When using a chainsaw for logging purposes, refer to Code of Federal Regulations, Parts
1910 and 1928.
WARNING: The ignition system of your unit produces an electromagnetic field of a very
low intensity. This field may interfere with some pacemakers. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injury, persons with pacemaker should consult their physician and the
pacemaker manufacturer before operating this tool.
WARNING: Muffler surfaces are very hot during and after operation of the chain saw,
keep all body parts away from the muffler. Serious burns may occur if contact is made
with the muffler.
WARNING: Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of gasoline powered hand
tools could cause blood vessel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and wrists of
people prone to circulation disorders or abnormal swellings. Prolonged use in cold
weather has been linked to blood vessel damage in otherwise healthy people. If
symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in skin color or
texture, or loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or wrists, discontinue the use of this
tool and seek medical attention.
WARNING: The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Operate your
chainsaw outdoors only in a well ventilated area.
