let go of the chain saw.

above shoulder height. This helps
prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chain saw

chains specified by the manu-
facturer. Incorrect replacement bars
and 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.
e) Follow all instructions when clea-
ring the chainsaw of accumulated
material, storing or performing
maintenance. Make sure the
switch is turned off and the batte-
ry is removed.Unexpected operation
of the chainsaw when removing ac-
cumulated material or during mainte-
nance can result in serious injury.
