rial may catch the saw chain and be
whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
g. Carry the multi saw by the handle with
the multi saw switched off and away
from your body. When transporting or
storing the multi saw, always fit the
guide bar cover Proper handling of the
multi saw will reduce the likelihood of
accidental contact with the moving saw
chain.
h. Follow instructions for lubricating,
chain tensioning and changing the bar
and chain. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
i.
Cut wood only. Do not use multi saw
for purposes not intended. For exam-
ple: do not use multi saw for cutting
metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood
building materials. Use of the multi
saw for operations different than
intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
j.
This multi saw is not intended for tree
felling. Use of the multi saw for opera-
tions different than intended could
result in serious injury to the operator or
bystanders.
k. Follow all instructions when clearing
jammed material, storing or servicing
the multi saw. Make sure the switch is
off and the battery pack is removed.
Unexpected actuation of the multi saw
while clearing jammed material or ser-
vicing may result in serious personal
injury.
• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a
ladder, from a rooftop, or any unstable
support. Operation of a chain saw in this
manner could result in serious personal
injury.
• Follow all instructions when clearing
jammed material, storing or servicing the
chain saw. Make sure the switch is off
and the battery pack is removed. Unex-
pected actuation of the chain saw while
clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent unin-
8
tended tip contact and enables better
control of the chain saw in unexpected
situations.
4. 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 exclu-
sively upon the safety devices built into your
saw. As a multi saw user, you should take
several steps to keep your cutting jobs free
from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of multi saw misuse
and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:
a. Maintain a firm grip, with thumb and
fingers encircling the saw handle and
position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Kickback
forces can be controlled by the opera-
tor, if proper precautions are taken. Do
not let go of the saw.
b. Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent
unintended tip contact and enables
better control of the multi saw in unex-
pected situations.
c. Only use replacement guide bars and
saw chains specified by the manufac-
turer. Incorrect replacement guide bars
and saw chains may cause chain break-
age and/or kickback.
d. Follow the manufacturer's sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the
saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased kickback.
