CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the chain saw is operating. Before you start
the chain saw, make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of inattention while
operating chain saws may cause entanglement of your
clothing or body with the saw chain.
2. Always hold the chain saw with your right hand
on the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand
confi guration increases the risk of personal injury and
should never be done.
3. Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the chain saw "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
4. Wear eye protection.
equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet
is recommended. Adequate protective equipment will
reduce personal injury from fl ying debris or accidental
contact with the saw chain.
5. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder,
from a rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation
of a chain saw in this manner could result in serious
personal injury.
6. Always keep proper footing and operate the chain
saw only when standing on fi xed, secure and level
surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a
loss of balance or control of the chain saw.
7. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert
for spring back. When the tension in the wood fi bres
is released, the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
8. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
9. 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 fi t
the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chain saw
will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the
moving saw chain.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing the bar and chain. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
11. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes
not intended. For example: do not use chain saw
for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood
building materials. Use of the chain saw for operations
diff erent than intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
or authorized service
Further protective
12. Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, strong or servicing the chain saw. Make
sure the swithch is off and the battery pack is
removed. Unexpected actuation of the chain saw
while clearing jammed material or servicing may result
in serious personal injury.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback: (Fig. 2)
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 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 chain saw misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below:
○ Maintain a fi rm grip, with thumbs and fi ngers
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 shoulder
height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected
situations.
○ Only use replacement guide bars and saw
chains specifi ed by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement guide bars and saw chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback.
○ Follow the manufacturer's
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.

ADDITIONAL SAFEY WARNINGS

1. Work without pressure. In addition, always keep your
body warm.
2. Before commencing work, refl ect fully on the work
procedures involved and work to avoid accidents,
otherwise injury may occur.
3. Do not use in the event of bad weather, such as strong wind,
rain, snow, fog, or in areas prone to rockfall or avalanches.
In bad weather, judgment may be impaired and the
vibration may result in disaster.
4. When visibility is poor, such as during bad weather or
night, do not use the unit. In addition, do not use it in
rain or in a location exposed to rain.
Unstable foothold or loss of balance may result in an
accident.
5. Check the guide bar and saw chain before starting the
unit.
○ If the guide bar or saw chain is cracked, or the product
is scratched or bent, do not use the unit.
○ Check if the guide bar and saw chain are securely
installed. If the guide bar or saw chain is broken or
dislodged, this may result in an accident.
6. Before starting work, check to ensure the switch does
not engage unless the lock-off button is pressed.
If the unit does not working properly, immediately stop
using and request repair from your HiKOKI Authorized
Service Center.
