ENGLISH
Kickback may occur when the moving saw
chain at 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. In some cases this may cause a
lightning-fast reverse action, kicking the
guide bar and saw chain up and back or
down and back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause the
operator to lose control of the Power
PrunerTM which could result in serious
personal injury.
With a basic understanding of kickback,
you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise which contributes to
accidents.
Avoid contact of the guide bar tip with any object while the saw chain is
moving.
Cut only wood. Avoid striking concrete, metal, wire, or other obstructions
which could cause kickback or damage to the saw chain.
If the saw chain does strike a foreign object, immediately stop the engine,
inspect and repair the Power PrunerTM if necessary.
Equipment

use of a non-approved attachment combination. ECHO, INC. will
