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 manufacturer. 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. Before starting work, check that the chain
saw is in proper working order and that its
condition complies with the safety regula-
tions. Check in particular that:
•
The chain brake is working properly;
•
The run-down brake is working properly;
•
The bar and the sprocket cover are
fitted correctly;
•
The chain has been sharpened and
tensioned in accordance with the
regulations.
15. 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.
Additional Safety Warnings:
1.
When using the tool with battery adapter,
be careful not to trip over the cord during
operation.
2.
When using the tool with battery adapter,
keep the cord away from obstacles such
as a workpiece and branches during
operation. The cord caught by obstacles
may cause serious injury.

2.
Ensure safe positioning of the chain saw
during car transportation to avoid fuel or
chain oil leakage, damage to the tool and
personal injury.
3.
Regularly check the functionality of
chain brake.
4.
Do not fill the chain oil near fire. Never
smoke when you fill the chain oil.
5.
National regulation may restrict the use
of the chain saw.
If the equipment gets heavy impact or
6.
fall, check the condition before continu-
ing work. Check the controls and safety
devices for malfunction. If there is any
damage or doubt, ask our authorized
service center for the inspection and
repair.
7.
Always activate the chain brake before
starting the chain saw.
8.
Hold the saw firmly in place to avoid
skating (skid movement) or bouncing of
the saw when starting a cut.
9.
At the end of the cut, be careful to keep
your balance due to the "drop".
10. Take into account the direction and
speed of the wind. Avoid sawdust and
chain oil mist.
Protective equipment
In order to avoid head, eye, hand or foot
1.
injuries as well as to protect your hear-
ing the following protective equipment
must be used during operation of the
chain saw:
—
The kind of clothing should be appro-
priate, i. e. it should be tight-fitting
but not be a hindrance. Do not wear
jewelry or clothing which could become
entangled with bushes or shrubs. If you
have long hair, always wear a hairnet!
