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.
j) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing the bar and chain. Improperly tensioned
or lubricated chain may either break or increase the
chance for kickback.
k) Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use chain saw
for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood
building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations
different than intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
l) Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an
understanding of the risks and how to avoid them.
Serious injury could occur to the operator or bystanders
while felling a tree.
m) Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the chain saw. Make
sure the switch is off and the battery pack is
removed. Unexpected actuation of the chain saw while
clearing jammed material or servicing may result in
serious personal injury.
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 you're your
cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of chain saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below:
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Only use replacement guide bars and saw chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement
guide bars and saw chains may cause chain breakage
and/or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased
kickback.
