tree or other unstable place.

RISK OF KICKBACK
WARNING!
Kickback can occur if the tip or topside of the
bar comes into contact with wood or other
solid objects. The saw then kicks back, which
can cause fatal and/or serious personal
injury.
• Always check before use that the chain
brake is working properly.
• Do not allow the tip of the bar to make
contact with wood or other solid objects.
• The chain brake may not be applied
automatically in the event of minor
kickback. For this reason, always hold the
chain saw rmly with both hands.
• The correct and careful way of working is
the only reliable method of reducing the
risk of kickback.
