WARNING
This tool is not insulated. When using this unit near energized electrical lines, use only certified

can result in severe injury or death.
Oil under pressure easily punctures skin causing serious injury, gangrene or death. If you are
injured by escaping oil, seek medical attention immediately. Do not use fingers or hands to check
for leaks. Do not hold hose or couplers while the hydraulic system is pressurized. Depressurize the
hydraulic system before servicing.
Pull-in can occur when the blade at the bottom of the bar contacts a foreign object, such as a nail, or
when the blade is pinched in the cut. The saw will be suddenly and forcefully pulled away from the
operator.
Push-back can occur when the blade at the top of the bar contacts a foreign object, such as a nail, or
when the blade is pinched in the cut. The saw will be suddenly and forcefully pushed back toward
the operator.
Kickback can occur when the chain at the guide bar tip contacts anything. The bar of the saw will
travel upward and back, toward the operator.
