Kickback Safety Precautions
Take the following steps to reduce the chance of accident or injury:
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the unit.
Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance. Take
extra care when working on stairs, steep slopes or inclines.
• When the unit is used as a chain saw: Do not cut above
shoulder height.
• When the unit is used as a pole saw: Do not extend arms
above shoulder height.
Do not make cuts with the tip of the guide bar.
Make sure the area of operation is free from obstructions. Do not
let the tip of the guide bar contact any object, such as a log,
branch, the ground or other obstruction.
Always inspect the wood before cutting. Foreign objects could
damage the unit or cause serious personal injury. Never cut
through nails, metal rods, railroad ties or pallets.
Do not operate the unit with one hand! Serious injury to the
operator, helpers or bystanders may result from one-handed
operation. This unit is intended for two-handed use. Always grip
the unit firmly with both hands when the unit is running. Do not
let go. A firm grip will help maintain control of the unit and
reduce the chance of kickback.
• When the unit is used as a chain saw: Hold the front handle
with the left hand and the rear handle with the right hand.
Firmly encircle the handles with the thumbs and fingers.
• When the unit is used as a pole saw: Hold the pole shaft
with the left hand and the rear handle with the right hand.
Firmly encircle the pole shaft and rear handle with the thumbs
and fingers.
Stand slightly to the left of the unit to avoid being in the direct
line of the saw chain.
Never start the saw when the guide bar is inside an existing cut.
Be extremely careful when re-entering a cut.
Always begin a cut with the unit running at full speed. Maintain a
steady cutting speed. Slower speeds increase the chance of
kickback.
Keep the saw housing pressed firmly against the wood.
Do not cut more than one log or branch at a time.
Do not twist the unit when removing the guide bar from a cut.
Watch out for shifting objects (logs, branches, etc.) that might
pinch or fall onto the saw chain during operation.
Only use wedges made of wood or plastic. Do not use metal to
hold a cut open.
Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer or the equivalent. These are available from
authorized service centers. Use of any unauthorized parts or
accessories could lead to serious injury to the operator or
damage to the unit and will void the warranty.

Kickback
Fig. D
Use devices that reduce the risks associated with kickback,
such as low-kickback chains, guide bar nose guards, chain
brakes and low-kickback guide bars. There are no other
replacement components for achieving kickback protection in
accordance with CSA Z62.3.
A low-kickback saw chain is a chain that has met the kickback
performance requirements of ANSI/OPEI B175.1-2012 when
tested according to the provisions specified in ANSI/OPEI
B175.1-2012. A low-kickback saw chain is a chain that is also in
accordance with CSA Z62.3. Do not use a replacement saw
chain unless it has met these requirements for this specific
model or has been designated as a low-kickback replacement
saw chain in accordance with ANSI/OPEI B175.1-2012. As saw
chains are sharpened, some of the low-kickback qualities are
lost and extra caution should be used.
Do not install a bow guide on this unit. Bow guides have larger
kickback zones, which increase the chance of kickback and
serious injury. This increase is not significantly reduced by using
a low-kickback saw chain. Using a bow guide on this unit is
extremely dangerous.
