Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss of control.
Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes not
intended.
For example:
do not use chain saw for cutting
plastic, masonry or non-wood building
materials.
Use of the
chain saw for operations different than intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Causes and operator
prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches
an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in
the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction,
kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the
guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw
which could result in serious personal 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.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs
and fingers
encircling
the
chain saw handles,
with both hands on the saw and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces.
Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.
• Do not overreach
and do not cut above shoulder
height.
This
helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of
the chain saw in unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement
bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer.
Incorrect replacement bars and chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback:
• Follow the manufacturer's
sharpening and maintenance
instructions
for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased kickback:
The following
precautions
should
be followed
to minimize
kickback:
(1 .) Grip Saw Firmly. Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands
when the motor is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles. Chain saw will pull forward when
cutting on the bottom edge of the bar, and push backward when
cutting along the top edge of the bar.
(2.) Do not over reach.
(3.) Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
(4.) Don't let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, ground
or other obstruction.
(5.) Don't cut above shoulder height.
(6.) Use devices such as low kickback chain and reduced kickback
uide bars that reduce the risks associated with kickback.
.) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer or the equivalent.
(8.) Never let the moving chain contact any object at the tip of the
uide bar.
.) Keep the working area free from obstructions such as other
trees, branches, rocks, fences, stumps, etc. Eliminate or avoid
any obstruction that your saw chain could hit while you are cutting
through a particular log or branch.
(10.) Keep your saw chain sharp and properly tensioned. A loose
or dull chain can increase the chance of kickback. Check tension at
regular intervals with the motor stopped and battery removed, never
with the motor running.
(11 .) Begin and continue cutting only with the chain moving at full
speed. If the chain is moving at a slower speed, there is a greater
chance for kickback to occur.
(12.) Cut one log at a time.
(13.) Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut. Engage
ribbed bumpers into wood and allow chain to reach full speed before
roceeding with cut.
14.) Do not attempt plunge cuts or bore cuts.
(15.) Watch for shifting logs or other forces that could close a cut
and pinch or fall into chain.
• Power Supply
- Connect chain saw battery charger to correct
voltage, that is, be sure that the voltage supplied is the same as that
specified on the nameplate of the tool
