OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2. Kickback and Pull-in Safety Devices on This
Pruning Saw
a. The pruning saw is equipped with a kickback
guard (E) to lower risk of injury from kickback
(Fig. 2a) by preventing access to the saw chain
(D).
WARNING
• To avoid injury, keep all parts of your body away
from the guard during operation.
• For your safety, never clamp or tie the kickback
guard in the open position. Do not attempt to cut
with the top edge of the bar (Fig. 2b).
b. The bumper beside the kickback guard is
designed to provide greater control of the saw
while cutting. It helps hold the saw steady
against the branch or limb during cutting
(Fig. 2c).
CAUTION
Always press the bumper against the material
being cut to maintain better control of the saw.
c. The saw is also equipped with an electric
brake, when the trigger switch (B) is released,
the electric brake engages automatically to
quickly stop the chain rotation.
