and saplings. The slender material may catch
the saw chain and be whipped toward you or
I
pull you off balance.
• Carry the chain saw by the front handle
with the chain saw switched off and away
from your body. When transporting or
GB
storing the chain saw always fit the guide
bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw
will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact
F
with the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing accessories.
D
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
E
causing loss of control.
• Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for
purposes not intended. For example: do
SK
not use chain saw for cutting plastic,
masonry or non-wood building materials.
Use of the chain saw for operations different
P
than intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
GR
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
TR
(Fig.3).
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and
back towards the operator.
CZ
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the
guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back
RUS
towards the operator.
UK
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the saw which could result in serious
PL
personal injury. Do not rely exclusively 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

precautions 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
s h o u l d e r h e i g h t . This helps prevent
unintended tip contact and enables better
control of the chain saw in unexpected
situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw
chain. Decreasing the depth gauge height can
lead to increased kickback.
