• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
• Carry the chain saw by the front handle with
the chain saw switched off and away from your
body. When transporting or storing the chain
saw, always fit the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood
of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
• 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.
• Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for
purposes not intended. For example: do not use
chain saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or
non-wood building materials. Use of the chain
saw for operations different than intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
• Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an
understanding of the risks and how to avoid
them. Serious injury could occur to the operator or
bystanders while felling a tree.
• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless
you have been specifically trained to do so.
Operation of a chain saw in a tree without proper
training could increase the risk of 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. Unexpected actuation of the chain saw
while clearing jammed material or servicing may
result in serious personal injury.
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 chain saw 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.
English
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 guide bars and saw
chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement guide bars and saw 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.
