doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate the chain saw when you are
tired. Keep ail parts of the body away
from the saw chain when the motor is
operating. Before you start the saw,
make sure the saw chain is not

further use of the chain saw, a guard or
other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment

parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired

18. GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK:
WARNING:
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 lightening fast reverse
action, 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 injury to the user.
The following precautions should be
followed to minimize kickback:
A. GRIP SAW FIRMLY: Hold the chain
saw firmly with both hands when the

thumbs and fingers encircling the

regarding its use is to be provided.

ail times,

contact a log, branch, ground or
other obstruction.
E. Do not cut above shoulder height.
F. Use devices such as low kickback
chain, guide bar nose guards, chain
brakes and special guide bars that
reduce the risks associated with
kickback,
om
G. Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the manufacturer
or the equivalent.
