(Original instructions)

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in

accordance with these instructions, taking into

account the working conditions and the work to be

performed. Use of the power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional power tool safety warnings

Warning! Additional safety warnings for chainsaws

u Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain

when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start

the chainsaw, make sure the saw chain is not

contacting anything. A moment of inattention while

operating the chainsaw may cause entanglement of

your clothing or body with the chainsaw.

u Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on

the rear handle and your left hand on the front

handle. Holding the chainsaw with the reversed hand

configuration increases the risk of personal injury and

should never be done.

u Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further

protective equipment for head, hands, legs and feet

is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will

reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental

contact with the saw chain.

u Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a

chainsaw while up in a tree may result in personal injury.

u Always keep proper footing and operate the

chainsaw only when standing on fixed, secure and

level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as

ladders may cause a loss of balance or control of the

chainsaw.

u When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for

spring back. When the tension in the wood fibres is

released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator

and/or throw the chainsaw out of control.

u 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.

u Carry the chainsaw by the front handle with the

chainsaw switched off and away from your body.

When transporting or storing the chainsaw always

fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the

chainsaw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact

with the moving saw chain.

u Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning

and changing accessories. Improperly tensioned or

lubricated chain may either break or increase the

chance for kickback

u Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and

grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing loss

of control.

u Cut wood only. Do not use chainsaw for purposes

not intended. For example: do not use the chainsaw

for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building

materials. Use of the chainsaw for operations different

than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

u Position the cord so that it will not get caught on

branches or similar when cutting.

u The spiked bumper (17) may become sharp during the

life of the product. handle with care.

u When handling the product the chain bar may become

hot, handle with care.

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

chainsaw which could result in serious personal injury. Do

not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your

chainsaw. As a chainsaw 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:

u Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers

encircling the chainsaw handles. With both hands

on the chainsaw, 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 chainsaw.

u Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder

height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and

enables better control of the chainsaw in unexpected

situations.
