Technical and legal information
equipment for head, hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by ying
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 xed,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 bres 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 t 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.
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
