SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR PRUNER USE
Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead to serious
■
injury. Kickback may occur when the moving chain
contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of the
guide bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the
saw chain in the cut. Contact at the upper portion of the
tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into the
object and stop the chain for an instant. The result is a
lightning fast, reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar
up and back toward the operator. If the saw chain is
pinched along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can
be driven rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these
reactions can cause loss of saw control which can result
in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety
devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user,
you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs
free from accident or injury.
With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce
■
or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise
contributes to accidents.
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
while you are operating the unit.
Always cut with the engine running at full speed. Fully
■
squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain a steady cutting
speed.
Follow the sharpening and maintenance instructions for
■
the saw chain.
Use only the replacement guide bars and low kickback
■
chains specified for your unit.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.
■
The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it is designed.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.
