The chain continues to rotate for a short period after the throttle trigger is released. !Warning! Do not cut any material other than wood or wooden objects. Use your chain sawing only. It is not designed for prying or shoveling away limbs, roots or other objects. When sawing, make sure that the saw chain does not touch any foreign materials such as rocks, fences, nails and the like. Such objects may be flung off, damage the saw chain or cause the saw to kickback. !Warning! In order to keep control of your saw, always maintain a firm foothold. Never work on a ladder, or on any other insecure support. Never use the saw above shoulder height. !Warning! Never work in a tree unless you have received specific, professional training for such work, are properly secured (such as tackle and harness system or a lift bucket), have both hands free for operating the chainsaw in a cramped environment and have taken proper precautions to avoid injury from falling limbs or branches. Position the chainsaw in such a way that your body is clear of the cutting attachment whenever the engine is running. Stand to the left of cut while bucking. Don't put pressure on the saw when reaching the end of a cut. The pressure may cause the bar and rotating chain to pop out of the cut or kerf, go out of control and strike the operator or some other object. If the rotating chain strikes some other object, a reactive force may cause the moving chain to strike the operator. Reactive forces including kickback !Warning! Reactive forces may occur any time the chain is rotating. Reactive forces can be dangerous! In any chainsaw, MSE 140 C, MSE 160 C, MSE 180 C, MSE 200 C 11
