KICKBACK SAFLrlrY DIL_II|CES ON THiS
SAW
This saw has a low-kickback chain and
reduced kickback chain bar. Both items reduce
the chance of kickback. Kickback can still occur
with this saw.
The following steps will reduce the risk of
kickback.
* Use both hands to grip saw while saw is
running. Use firm grip.Thumbs and fingers
must wrap around saw handles.
* Keep all safety items in place on saw.
Make sure they work properly.
* Do not overreach or cut above shoulder
height.
* Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
* Stand slightly to left side of saw.This keeps
your body from being in direct line with
chain.
* Do not let guide bar nose touch anything
when chain is moving.
* Never try cutting through two logs at same
time. Only cut one log at a time.
* Do not bury guide bar nose or try plunge
cut (boring into wood using guide bar
nose).
* Watch for shifting of wood or other forces
that may pinch chain.
* Use extreme caution when reentering a
previous cut.
* Use low-kickback chain and guide bar
supplied with this chain saw.
* Never use dull or loose chain. Keep chain
sharp with proper tension.
GEN E|_t, IL BEHAVIOR
Use the chain saw only with secure footing.
Hold the chain saw at the right-hand side of
your body. (See Fig. I)
The chain must be running at full speed
before it makes contact with the wood. Use
the metal gripping teeth to secure the saw
onto the wood before starting to cut. Use the
gripping teeth as a leverage point "a" while
cutting. (See Fig. J)
Do not operate the chain saw with arms fully
extended or attempt to saw areas which are
difficult to reach, or on a ladder. Never use the
chain saw above shoulder height.
(See Fig. K)
