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.
