h) Carry the chain saw by the front
handle with the chain saw 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 Iikelihood of accidentaI
contact with the moving saw chain.
i) Follow instructions for lubricating,
chain tensioning and changing ac-
cessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated
chain may either break or increase the
chance for kickback.
k) Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease. Greasy, oily
handles are slippery causing loss of
control..
l) 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 operations different
than intended could result in a haz-
ardous situation.
m) Hold the power tool only on the
insulated handle surfaces, as the
saw chain can come into contact
with concealed power lines or the
mains cable to the equipment.
Contact between the saw chain and a
live wire can make metal parts of the
equipment live and cause an electric
shock.
n) If the supply cord of this power tool
is damaged, it must be replaced by
a specially prepared cord available
through the service organization.
o) Use only approved mains cables of
the type H07RN-F that are intended

for outdoor use. The wire cross sec-
tion of the mains cable must be at
least 2.5 mm

ble reel completely before use. Check
the mains cable for damages.
7) CAUSES AND OPERATOR PRE-
VENTION OF KICKBACK
Beware of kickback! Be care-
ful of kickback of the machine
during work. There is danger of
injury here. You can avoid kick-
backs by exercising caution and
using a correct sawing tech-
nique.
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 exclu-
sively upon the safety devices built into your
saw. As a chain saw user, you should take
several steps to keep your cutting jobs free
from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions 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.
