Warning!
Never
touch a chain with your hand or any part of
your
body
when the
engine
is
running,
even
when the
chain is
not rotating. The chain continues
to rotate
for
a short pe-
riod after the throttle trigger
is released.
Warning!
Do
not
cut any
material other than wood
or
wooden ob-
jects.
Use your chain saw for cutting only. It is not designed for
10
prying
or
shoveling
away
limbs,
roots or
other objects.
When sawing, make
sure
that the
saw
chain
does not
touch
any
foreign
materials such
as
rocks, fences,
nails
and the like (i11.8). Such objects
may be flung off, damage
the saw
chain
or cause the saw to kick back.
In order to keep control of your
saw, always maintain a firm
foothold, Never work
on a
ladder, in a tree or on any other
insecure support. Never use the saw above shoulder
height (ill. 9).
Position the chain saw
in such
a way
that
your
body is
clear of the
cutting attachment whenever the engine is run-
ning. Stand to the left of cut while bucking (see ill. 10).
Don't put pressure on the saw when
reaching the end of a
cut.
The
pressure may cause
the bar and rotating chain
to
pop out
of
the cut
or
kerf,
go out
of control and strike the
operator or some other object. If the rotating chain strikes
some other object, a reactive force (see pages
10 to 16)
may cause the moving chain to strike the operator.
Reactive forces including
kickback
,ng!
Reactive
forces
may occur any time
the chain is rotating.
