ging accessories. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chan-
ce for kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease. Greasy,
oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
• Cut wood only. Do not use chain
saw for purposes not intended.
For example: do not use chain
saw for cutting plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials.
Use of the chain saw for opera-
tions different than intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
• Do not attempt to fell a tree un-
til you have an understanding of
the risks and how to avoid them.
Serious injury could occur to the
operator or bystanders while fe-
lling a tree.
• This chain saw is not intended
for tree felling. Use of the chain
saw for operations different than
intended could result in serious
injury to the operator or bystan-
ders.
Causes and operator prevention
of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the
nose or tip of the guide bar tou-
ches 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 ex-
clusively upon the safety devices
built into your saw. As a chain
saw user, you should take seve-
ral steps to keep your cutting jobs
free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool mi-
suse 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 situa-
tions.
• Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the manu-
facturer. Incorrect replacement
bars and chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's shar-
pening and maintenance instruc-
tions for the saw chain. Decrea-
sing the depth gauge height can
lead to increased kickback.
