back if the wood holding it is cut or removed.
On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of
springing back to the upright position during the bucking
cut to separate the log from the stump. Watch out for
springpoles—they are dangerous. Do not attempt to cut
bent branches or stumps which are under tension unless
you are professionally trained and competent to do so.
WARNING
Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the operator,
causing the operator to lose control of the chainsaw.
This could result in severe or fatal injury to the operator.
This should be done by trained users.

RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness and blanching of the fi ngers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:

modification of safety features like the chain brake,
hand guard (front and back), spiked bumper, chain
catcher, guide bar, low-kickback saw chain
cause the safety features to not function correctly, thus
increasing the potential for serious injury. Keep the
product professionally maintained and safe.
Sharpening the chain safely is a skilled task. Therefore,
the manufacturer strongly recommends that a worn or
dull chain is replaced with a new one, available at your
authorised service centre. The part number is available
in the product specification table in this manual.
Follow instructions for lubricating and chain tension
checking and adjustment.
After each use, clean the product with a soft dry cloth.
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals
for security to ensure the product is in safe working
condition. Any part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre.
Injury caused by vibration
– Always use the right tool for the job. Use designated
handles. Restrict working time and exposure.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury.
– Wear hearing protection and limit exposure.
Contact with exposed saw teeth of the chain (cutting
hazards).
Unforeseen, abrupt movement or kickback of the guide
bar (cutting hazards).
Parts ejected from the saw chain (cutting/injection
hazards).
Thrown out pieces of the work piece (wood chips,
splinters).
Inhalation of saw dust and particles.
Skin contact with oil.
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
