cutting brushwood and young
trees. The thin material may become
caught in the saw chain and hit you or
cause you to lose balance.
i)­ Carry the chainsaw by the front
handle when it is switched off
with the saw chain pointing
away from your body. Always
place the protective cover onto
the chainsaw when transporting
or storing it. Careful handling of the
chainsaw reduces the probability of ac-
cidentally coming into contact with the
running saw chain.
j)­ Observe instructions for lubri-
cation, chain tensioning and re-
placing the guide rail and chain.
An improperly tensioned or lubricated
chain may rip apart or increase the risk
of kickback.
k) Only saw wood. Do not use the
chainsaw for work for which
it is not intended. Example: Do
not use the chainsaw to saw
through metal, plastic, masonry
or construction materials not
made from wood. Use of the chain-
saw for unintended applications can
lead to hazardous situations.
l)­ Do not attempt to fell a tree until
you have a clear understanding
of the risks and how to avoid
them. The user or other persons can
be seriously injured by a falling tree.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or condi-
tions 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
