Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper pre-
cautions 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.

•
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 manufac-
turer. Incorrect replacement bars and
chains may cause chain breakage and/
or kickback.
Follow the manufacturer's sharp-
•
ening and maintenance instruc-
tions for the saw chain. Decreasing
the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
14. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree
unless you have been specifically
trained to do so. Operation of a chain
saw in a tree without proper training could
increase the risk of serious personal injury.
Additional Safety Instructions
Operation
1.
When you use the tool on muddy
ground, wet slope, or slippery place, pay
attention to your footing.
2.
Do not submerge the tool into a puddle.
3.
Do not leave the tool unattended out-
doors in the rain.
4.

that:
•
The chain brake is working properly;
•

properly;
•
The bar and the sprocket cover are
fitted correctly;
•
The chain has been sharpened and
tensioned in accordance with the
regulations.
Do not start the chain saw with the

chain cover being installed on it. Starting
the chain saw with the chain cover being
installed on it may cause the chain cover
to thrown out forward resulting in personal
injury and damage to objects around the
operator.
Electrical and battery safety

a fire. The cell may explode. Check with
local codes for possible special disposal
instructions.
3.
Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies).
