TO PREVENT IT
• Kickback can occur if the tip or topside of

other solid objects, or if the chain jams in
the cut.
• The product then kicks up and back with
great force, which can cause serious
personal injury, or death.
• If the chain fastens along the top of the
bar, this can cause the saw to be pressed
back towards the user.
• This can also result in serious personal
injury or death. Do not rely on the safety
mechanisms on the product. The correct
and careful way of working is the only
reliable method of reducing the risk of
kickback.
• Kickback occurs when the product is used
incorrectly and/or with the wrong work
methods or in the wrong conditions, and
can be avoided as follows.

hands and hold your arms in a
position that prevents kickback.
Kickback can cause the product to
jerk backwards, but the user can
control this by taking the appropriate
measures. Keep a rm grip on both
handles.
– Do not overreach. Never saw above
shoulder height. This ensures better
control over the product in
unexpected situations.
– Only use accessories recommended
by the manufacturer. The use of
other accessories can cause the
chain to break/or kickback.

the product and sharpen the chain. A
