■
Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent
unintended tip contact and enables
better control of the chainsaw in
unexpected situations.
■
Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback.
■
Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the chainsaw.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can
lead to increased kickback.
■
Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and
fingers encircling the chainsaw handles,
with both hands on the saw. Then position
your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can
be controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken. Do not let go of the
chainsaw.
WARNING!

protection is not worn.

emission if the appliance is being used over
longer periods of time or not adequately
