9 KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
▪
KICKBACK may occur when the NOSE or TIP of the guide bar touches an object, or when
wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
▪
Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning-fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide
bar up and back toward the operator.
▪
PINCHING the saw chain along the BOTTOM of the guide bar may PULL the saw forward
away from the operator.
▪
PINCHING the saw chain along the TOP of the guide bar may PUSH the guide bar rapidly
back toward the operator.
▪
Any of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw, which could result in
serious personal injury.
▪
With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of
surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
▪
Keep a good firm grip on the saw, when the motor is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs
and fingers encircling the chain saw handle. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and
maintain control of the saw. Don't let go.
▪
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.
▪
Cut at high engine speeds. Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
▪
Follow manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
▪
Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the equivalent.
NOTE: Low-kickback saw chain is a chain that has met the kickback
performance.
WARNING: Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the chain saw
and result in serious or fatal injury to the saw operator or to anyone standing
close by. Always be alert. Rotational kickback and pinch-kickback are major
chain saw operational dangers and the leading cause of most accidents.
10 ASSEMBLY
Always wear gloves when handling the bar and chain; these components are
sharp and may contain burrs.
Never touch or adjust the chain while the motor is running. The saw chain is
very sharp; always wear protective gloves when performing maintenance to
the chain to avoid possible serious lacerations.
10.1
To assemble the chain and bar (Fig. A & C)
▪
Remove the battery from the chain saw.
▪
Rotate the sprocket cover knob (4) anti clockwise and remove the knob and the cover (3) .
▪
Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten any kinks. The cutters should face in
the direction of chain rotation (14) which is marked above the sprocket (15). If they face
backwards, turn the loop over.
▪
Place the chain drive links into the bar groove as shown.
▪
Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of the bar.
