Only saw wood. Do not use the
chainsaw for unintended applica-
tions - example: do not use the
chainsaw to saw through plastic,
masonry or construction materials
not made from wood. Use of the
chainsaw for unintended applications
can lead to hazardous situations.

Kickback causes and how to
avoid them
Caution - kickbacks! Be aware that
you may experience kickback while
working with the device. There is
a risk of injury. Kickbacks can be
avoided through taking the appro-
priate care and using the correct
sawing technique.

Kickbacks may occur if the tip of the
guide rail touches an object, or if the
wood bends and the saw chain gets
caught in the cut (see Fig. b).
•
Under some circumstances, contact
with tip of the rails can lead to an
unexpected backwards reaction mo-
vement during which the guide rails
move upwards and strike the operator
(see Fig. a).
•
If the saw chain becomes stuck along
the top edge of the guide rail, the rail
can kick back heavily towards to the
operator.

Each of these reactions can lead to
you losing control of the saw and po-
tentially being seriously injured. Do not
rely exclusively on the safety devices
built into the chainsaw. As user of the
chainsaw, you should undertake vari-
ous measures to enable accident- and
injury-free working.
A kickback is caused by wrongly or incor-
rectly operating the power tool. It can be
avoided by suitable cautionary measures,
such as described below:
•
Hold the saw firmly with both hands
with thumbs and fingers surroun-
ding the chainsaw handles. Place
your body and arms in a position
where you can withstand the kick-
back forces. The operator will be
capable of withstanding the kickback
forces if suitable measures are under-
taken. Never let go of the chainsaw.
•
Avoid an abnormal body posture.
This enables better control over the
chainsaw in unforeseen situations.
•
Always use the replacement rails
and saw chains specified by the
manufacturer. Incorrect replacement
rails and saw chains can cause the
chain to break apart and/or may lead
to kickback.
•
Comply with the manufacturer's in-
structions for sharpening and main-
taining the saw chain� Depth gauges
placed too low increase the potential
for kickbacks.
•
Do not saw with the tip of the blade
bar (see Fig. b). There is a risk of
kickback.
•
Ensure there are no objects on the
ground which could cause you to
stumble.
