the chainsaw usually reacts in an uncontrolled manner.
The consequence is often the severe injury of the user
or nearby persons.
The danger of a kickback is greatest if you apply the area
near the guide bar tip to a branch, because the leverage
effect is greatest there. Therefore, always apply the saw
as atly as possible.
Attention!
• Always make sure that the chain tension is correct!
• Only use properly functioning chainsaws!
• Only work with a saw chain sharpened according to
regulations!
• Never saw with the upper edge or tip of the guide bar!
• Always hold the chainsaw rmly with two hands!
Sawing wood under tension
Sawing wood which is under tension necessitates ele-
vated caution! Wood that is under tension and is then
released from that tension when cut occasionally reacts
in a completely uncontrolled manner. This can result in
severe to deadly injuries. Such work may only be perfor-
med by trained specialists.
