(Original instructions)

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 materi-

als. Use of the chainsaw 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 reac-

tion, 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 operat-

ing procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking

proper precautions as given below:

u Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and ngers encir-

cling 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 control-

led 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 situ-

ations.

u Only use replacement guide bars and chains specied

by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide bars

and chains may cause chain breakage and/ or kickback.

u Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and mainte-

nance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the

depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

u Striking metal, cement or any other hard material near the

wood, or buried in the wood can cause kickback.

u A dull or loose chain can cause kickback.

u Do not try to insert into a previous cut. As this could cause

kickback. Make a fresh cut every time.

Safety recommendations for the chainsaw

u We strongly recommend that rst time users obtain practi-

cal instruction in the use of the chainsaw and protective

equipment from an experienced user. Initial practice

should be completed sawing logs on a saw horse or

cradle.

u We recommend that when carrying the chainsaw that you

remove the battery and make sure that the saw chain is

facing backwards.

u Maintain your chainsaw when not in use. Do not store

your chainsaw for any length of time without rst remov-

ing the saw chain and guide bar which should be kept

immersed in oil. Store all parts of your chainsaw in a dry,

secure place out of reach of children.

u We recommend you drain the oil reservoir prior to storage.

u Be sure of your footing and pre-plan a safe exit from a

falling tree or branches.

u Use wedges to help control felling and prevent binding the

guide bar and saw chain in the cut.

u Saw chain care. Keep the saw chain sharp and snug on

the guide bar. Ensure the saw chain and guide bar are

clean and well oiled. Keep handles dry, clean and free

from oil and grease.
