guide bar occurring when the saw chain near the nose of the
top area of the guide bar contacts any object such as a log or
branch, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain
in thecut.
• Kickback, Pinch ‑
The rapid pushback of the saw which can
occur when the wood closes in and pinches the moving saw

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the
tool “live” and shock theoperator.
• Do not attempt operations beyond your capacity or
experience. Read thoroughly and understand completely all
instructions in thismanual.
