SAFETY GUIDELINES
**SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS**
HM122-MY2021-EN: Rev F
Page of6104
14-Jul-2021
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
WARNING!
The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible conditions or situations that could
occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot be built into this product but must be
supplied by the operator.
WARNING!
Only operate the engine in a well ventilated area. Carbon Monoxide
(CO) produced by the engine during use can kill. Do not use indoors,
near windows, or in other sheltered areas.
NOTE: All Federal and State laws and any regulation having
jurisdiction covering the safety requirements for use of the machine
take precedence over the statements in this manual. Users of this
machine must adhere to such regulations.
WARNING!

HM122 Operator’s Manual
WORK AREA
•Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can
cause accidents.
•Do not use your sawmill where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g. in
the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
•Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control, therefore, visitors should remain a safe distance from the work area.
•Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other mechanical hazards in
your work area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the operator’s
view that may be unintentionally contacted and cause personal harm or property damage.
•Be alert of your surroundings. Using power tools in confined work areas may put you
dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE SAFETY
HM122-MY2021-EN: Rev F
Page of7104
14-Jul-2021
Internal combustion engines present special hazards during operation and
fuelling. Read and follow the warning instructions in the engine Owner’s
Manual and the safety guidelines below. Failure to follow the warnings
and safety standards could result in severe injury or death.
•DO NOT run the machine indoors or in an enclosed area such as a deep
trench unless adequate ventilation, through such items as exhaust fans
or hoses, is provided. Exhaust gas from the engine contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas (CO); exposure to carbon monoxide can cause
loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
•DO NOT smoke while operating the machine.
•DO NOT smoke when refuelling the engine.
•DO NOT refuel a hot or running engine.
•DO NOT refuel the engine near an open flame.
•DO NOT spill fuel when refuelling the engine.
•DO NOT run the engine near an open flame.
•ALWAYS refill the fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.
•ALWAYS replace the fuel tank cap after refuelling.
•ALWAYS check the fuel lines and the fuel tank for leaks and cracks
before starting the engine. Do not run the machine if fuel leaks are
present or the fuel lines are loose.
•ALWAYS avoid contact with hot fuel, oil, and exhaust fumes.
WARNING!

HM122 Operator’s Manual
PERSONAL SAFETY
•Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
•Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
which comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust
mask in dusty work conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-
skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when
appropriate.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
•Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power supply or turning on
the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
•Never make blade guide adjustments, remove or install blades, or conduct any other
maintenance or make any other adjustments while the engine is running. Always shut
the engine off, remove the ignition key, and turn the engine off before carrying out any of the
aforementioned procedures. Consult your engine manual for safe shutdown procedures to
prevent accidental ignition.
