The hand-arm vibration syndrome (vibration white
fi nger) is a vascular disease that involves seizure-
like spasms of the fi ngers and toes. The aff ected
areas are no longer suffi ciently supplied with
blood and therefore appear extremely pale. The
frequent use of vibrating equipment may trigger
nerve damage in people with an impaired circula-
tion (for example smokers, diabetics).
Should you observe any unusual impairments,
interrupt your work immediately and consult a
doctor.
Follow these instructions in order to reduce the
dangers:
•
Keep your body and in particular your hands
warm when working in the cold
•
Take regular breaks and move your hands
to stimulate the blood circulation during the
breaks.
•
Ensure that the equipment makes the least
possible vibration through regular mainte-
nance and solid parts on the equipment.
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.
If the bar tip contacts, it may cause a lightning-
fast 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 keep your
cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
1. With a basic understanding of kickback, you
can reduce or eliminate the element of surpri-
se. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
2. Keep a good fi rm grip on the saw with both
hands, the right hand on the rear handle, and
the left hand on the front handle, when the
engine is running. Use a fi rm grip with thumbs
and fi ngers encircling the chain saw handles.
A fi rm grip will help you reduce kickback and
maintain control of the saw. Don't let go.
3. Make sure that the area in which you are
cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the
nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch,
or any other obstruction which could be hit
while you are
operating the saw.
4. Cut at high engine speeds.
5. Do not overreach or cut above shoulder
height.
6. Follow manufacturer's sharpening and main-

tenance instructions for the saw chain.
7. Only use replacement bars and chains speci-
fi ed by the manufacturer or the equivalent.
8. If the equipment becomes jammed when
cutting, switch it off immediately and free it
carefully. Finally, check the equipment for da-
mage (e.g. a bent chain bar) and carry out a
test run. Have your tools repaired only by trai-
ned personnel and/or the authorized serivce
agent, using only genuine spare parts.
This will ensure that your tool remains safe to
use.

LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN helps signi-
fi cantly reduce kickback, or the intensity of
kickback, due to specially designed depth
gauges and guard links.

CHAIN BRAKE LEVER / HAND GUARD
protects the operator's left hand in the event it
slips off the front handle while saw is running.
CHAIN BRAKE is a safety feature designed
to reduce the possibility of injury due to
kickback by stopping a moving saw chain
in milliseconds. It is activated by the CHAIN
