Kickback Safety Features
Guard against kickback. Kickback is the upward motion of
the guide bar that occurs when the saw chain, at the nose
of the guide bar, contacts an object. Kickback can lead to
dangerous loss of control of the chainsaw.
WARNING: The following features are included on
your lopper to help reduce the hazard of kickback;
however such features will not totally eliminate this
dangerous reaction. As a chainsaw user do not rely
only on safety devices. You must follow all safety
precautions, instructions, and maintenance in this
manual to help avoid kickback and other forces which
can result in serious injury.
Top Jaw
This has been designed specifically to cover the tip of the
chain bar where the danger zone for kickback occurs. In the
event of any kickback the guard also helps reduce the risk of
the chain coming into contact with the operator.
Electrical safety
This tool and charger is double insulated; therefore no
grounding wire is required. Always check that the power
supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
