The engine of this saw (

) requires an
adequate free flow of cooling air. NEVER operate the saw in
any enclosed or narrow area
where free flow of the air is
restricted. If the air flow is
restricted it will cause serious
damage to the saw's engine
and may cause injury to
people. Remember the
saw's engine gives off
DEADLY
carbon monoxide
gas.
ALWAYS stop the engine before servicing, adding fuel and
oil.
High Temperatures – Allow the engine to cool before adding
fuel or performing service and maintenance functions. Contact
with
