Allow only persons who fully understand
this manual to operate your clearing

Techniques" before using your clearing
saw. For further information you can go

WARNING
Because a clearing saw is a high-speed
cutting tool some special safety
precautions must be observed to reduce
the risk of personal injury. Careless or
improper use may cause serious or even
fatal injury.
Make sure your unit is equipped with the
proper deflector, handle and harness for
the type of cutting attachment being
used. Always wear proper eye
protection.
