Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper 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.
► Fig.1
•
Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent unin-
tended tip contact and enables better control
of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
•
Only use replacement bars and chains spec-
ified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replace-
ment 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.
14. Before starting work, check that the chain
saw is in proper working order and that its
condition complies with the safety regulations.
Check in particular that:
•
The chain brake is working properly;
•
The run-down brake is working properly;
•
The bar and the sprocket cover are fitted
correctly;
•
The chain has been sharpened and ten-
sioned in accordance with the regulations.
15. Do not start the chain saw with the chain cover
being installed on it. Starting the chain saw with
the chain cover being installed on it may cause
the chain cover to thrown out forward resulting in
personal injury and damage to objects around the
operator.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated use) replace
strict adherence to safety rules for the subject
product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety
rules stated in this instruction manual may cause
serious personal injury.
