• Wear eye protection. Further protective
equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs
and feet is recommended. Adequate protective
equipment will reduce personal injury from flying
debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
• Do not operate a chain saw on a ladder, from
a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of
a chain saw in this manner could result in serious
personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing and operate the
chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces
may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain
saw.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibers is released, the spring-loaded limb may
strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out of
control.
• Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
• Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the
chainsaw switched off and away from your body.
When transporting or storing the chain saw,
always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of
the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either
break or increase the chance for kickback.
• Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for
purposes not intended. For example: do not use
chain saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or
non-wood building materials. Use of the chain
saw for operations different than intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
• Do not attempt to fell a tree until you understand
the risks and how to avoid them. Serious injury
could occur to the operator or bystanders while
felling a tree.
• Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless
you have been specifically trained to do so.
Operation of a chain saw in a tree without proper
training could increase the risk of serious
personal injury.
• Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the chain saw.
Make sure the switch is off and the battery pack
is removed. Unexpected actuation of the chain saw
while clearing jammed material or servicing may
result in serious personal injury.
• It is only to be used in an outdoor, domestic
application by adults.
• Do not use the chainsaw for any purpose not
listed above.
English

not wearing adequate personal protective
equipment and clothing.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of

CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION OF
KICKBACK:
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.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden
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 chainsaw user, you should
take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of chain saw misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below:
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chainsaw 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
chainsaw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact
and enables better control of the chainsaw in
unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement guide bars and saw
chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement guide bars and saw chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
