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.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree.
Operation of a chain saw while up 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 control 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 operator 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 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 accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase 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
purposes 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
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 (Fig.3).
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 tool 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. 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 bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and 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.
WARNING - If correctly used, the
electric saw is a quick, easily handled
and efficient tool; if used improperly or
without the due precautions it could become
a dangerous tool. For pleasant and safe
work,always strictly comply with the safety
rules that follow and throughout this
manual.
