The manual is complete with excellent quality! One suggestion, show number of pages and weather it is multi-lingual. The AD 600 Manuel is about 76 pages and over half is non English. This results in a larger print job than usually needed. Having this information, one could select the desired pages for printing.
This is an excellent handbook. We had no information on the appliance until we obtained this and are now able to use the appliance to its full potential. Strongly recommended.
Very happy to find this from owners-manual.com and the enclosed spec sheet as well.
Not longer available from Sony.

STARTING AND STOPPING
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended. This can damage the machine. � Observe your surroundings and make sure that there is no risk of people or animals coming into contact with the cutting equipment.
Note! Reactivate the chain brake by pushing the front hand guard back towards the front handle. The chain saw is now ready for use.
�
Always hold the saw with both hands. The right hand should be on the rear handle, and the left hand on the front handle. All people, whether right or left handed, should use this grip. Use a �rm grip with thumbs and �ngers encircling the chain saw handles.
!
�
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the engine�s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and dust from sawdust can represent a health risk.
Never start a chain saw unless the bar, chain and all covers are �tted correctly. See instructions under the heading Assembly. Without a bar and chain attached to the chain saw the clutch can come loose and cause serious injury.
Stopping
�
The chain brake should be activated when starting. Se instructions under the heading Start and stop. Do not drop start. This method is very dangerous because you may lose control of the saw. The engine is stopped by pushing the stop switch to the stop position.
�
Never start the machine indoors. Exhaust fumes can be dangerous if inhaled.
