Manual

reversed hand configuration increases the risk of

personal injury and should never be done.

3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, because the saw chain may

contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Saw

chains contacting a "live" wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and

could give the operator an electric shock.

Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.

Further protective equipment for head, hands,

legs and feet is recommended.

Adequate

protective clothing will reduce personal injury by

flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.

5. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation

of a chain saw while up in a tree may result in

personal injury.

6. Always keep proper footing and operate the

chain saw only when standing on fixed,

secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable

surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of

balance or control of the chain saw.

7. When cutting a limb that is under tension be

alert for spring back. When the tension in the

wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb

may strike the operator and/or throw the chain

saw out of control.

8. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and

saplings. The slender material may catch the

saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you

off balance.

9. Carry the chain saw by the front handle with

the chain saw switched off and away from

your body. When transporting or storing the

chain saw always fit the guide bar cover.

Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the

likelihood of accidental contact with the moving

saw chain.

10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain

tensioning and changing accessories.

Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may

either break or increase the chance for kickback.

11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and

grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing

loss of control.

12. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for

purposes not intended. For example: do not

use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry or

non-wood building materials. Use of the chain

saw for operations different than intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

13. Causes and operator prevention of kickback:

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 sudden

reverse reaction, 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

personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the

safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw

user, you should take several steps to keep your

cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or

incorrect operating procedures or conditions and

can be avoided by taking proper precautions as

given below:

− Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and

fingers encircling the chain saw handles,

with both hands on the saw and 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

chain saw.

014316

−

Do not overreach and do not cut above

shoulder height.

This helps prevent unintended

tip contact and enables better control of the

chain saw 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 saw

chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height

can lead to increased kickback.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Read the instruction manual in order to familiarize

yourself with operation of the chain saw.

2. Before using the chain saw for the first time,

arrange to have instruction in its operation. If this

is not possible, at least practice cutting round

timber on a trestle before beginning work.
