As a user of a chainsaw you should take several
precautions to continuously work without having
accidents or suffering injuries.
A kickback is the result of a wrong or improper
use of the power tool. It may be avoided by tak-
ing the following proper precautions:
• Hold the saw with both hands with the
thumbs and fingers firmly embracing the
handles of the chainsaw. Position your
body and arms such that you can with-
stand the power of a kickback. When prop-
er precautions are taken the operator will be
able to control the power of a kickback. Never
let go of the chainsaw!
• Avoid unusual postures and do not cut
above shoulder height. This avoids acci-
dentally touching objects with the tip of the
bar and allows for a better control of the
chainsaw in unexpected situations.
• Only use the replacement bars and chains
prescribed by the manufacturer. The use of
wrong replacement bars and chains may lead
to chain breaks or kickbacks.
• Adhere to the manufacturer's instructions
to sharpen and maintain the chain. Depth
limiters that are too low increase the risk of
a kickback.
• Set the loop so that it is not detected dur-
ing operation of branches or the like.
