• Make sure that the area in which you are cutting
is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of
the guide bar contact a log, branch, fence, or any
other obstruction that could be hit while you are
operating the tool.
• Always cut with the unit running at full speed. Fully
squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain a steady
cutting speed.
• Use replacement parts such as low kickback chain
and special guide bars that reduce the risks associ-
ated with rotational kickback. Use only the replace-
ment guide bars and low kickback chains specified
by the manufacturer for the tool.
With a basic understanding of kickback, you can
reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sud-
den surprise contributes to accidents.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Do not cut with right hand holding power unit above
shoulder height. Do not overreach when cutting.
• Follow the sharpening and maintenance instructions
for the saw chain.
• Push and Pull - This reaction force is always op-
posite to the direction the chain is moving where
wood contact is made. Thus, the operator must
be ready to control the PULL when cutting on the
bottom edge of the bar, and PUSH when cutting
along the top edge.
