■ Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the

power tool or these instructions to operate the

power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands

of untrained users.

■ Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and

any other condition that may affect the power

tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool

repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

■ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are

less likely to bind and are easier to control.

■ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc., in accordance with these instructions, tak-

ing into account the working conditions and the

work to be performed. Use of the power tool for op-

erations different from those intended could result in

a hazardous situation.

Service

■ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re-

pair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

Chain Saw Safety Warnings:

■ Keep all parts of the body away from the saw

chain when the motor is operating. Before you

start the saw, make sure the saw chain is not

contacting anything. A moment of inattention while

operating chain saws may cause entanglement of

your clothing or body with the saw chain.

■ Always hold the chain saw with your right hand

on the rear handle and your left hand on the front

handle. Holding the chain saw with a reserved hand

configuration increases the risk of personal injury

and should never be done.

■ Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Fur-

ther protective equipment for head, hand, legs

and feet is recommend. Adequate protective cloth-

ing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or ac-

cidental contact with saw chain.

■ Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of

a chain saw in a tree, may result in personal injury.

■ Always keep proper footing and operate the

chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure

and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces

such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or con-

trol of the chain saw.

■ 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 op-

erator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.

■ 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 bal-

ance.

■ Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the

saw chain stopped and the guide bar pointing to

the rear. When transporting or storing the chain

saw always fit the guide bar cover. Proper han-

dling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of ac-

cidental contact with the moving saw chain.

■ Follow instructions for lubricating, chain ten-

sioning and changing accessories. Improperly

tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or in-

crease the chance for kickback.

■ 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 pur-

poses 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 then 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 re-

verse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back to-

wards the operator.

– Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar

may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the op-

erator.

– Either of these reactions may cause you to lose con-

trol of the saw which could result in serious personal

injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety de-

vices 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 op-

erating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by

taking proper precautions as given below:

■ Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers en-

circling the chain saw handles, with both hands

on the saw and position your body and arm to al-

low you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces

can be controlled by the operator, if proper precau-

tions are taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.

■ Do not over reach and do not cut above shoulder

height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact

and enables better control of the chain saw in unex-

pected situations.

■ Only use replacement bars and chains specified

by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars

and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kick-

back.

■ Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and main-

tenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreas-

ing the depth gauge height can lead to increased

kickback.
