contacting anything. A moment of inattention while
operating chain saws may cause entanglement of
you 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 reversed
hand configuration increases the risk of personal
injury and should never be done.
Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring. Saw chains contacting a ”live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the chain saw ”live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Wear eye protection. Further protective equipment
for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is
recommended. Adequate protective equipment will
reduce personal injury from flying debris or
accidental contact with the saw chain.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder,
from a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation
of a chain saw in this manner could result in
serious personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate the chain
saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces 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 the bar and chain. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either brake 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.
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.
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.
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. 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
