CAUTION: When sawing precut timber, use a safe support (saw horse or cradle). Do not steady the workpiece with your foot, and do not allow anyone else to hold or steady it. CAUTION: Secure round pieces against rotation. CAUTION: Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the motor is operating.

NOTICE: Do not cover the vents of the tool. Bring the bottom edge of the chain saw body into contact with the branch to be cut before switching on.
