Check tension at regular intervals with the motor stopped and tool
unplugged, never with the motor running.
11 . Begin and continue cutting only with the chain moving
at full speed. If the chain is moving at a slower speed, there is a
greater chance for kickback to occur.
12 . Cut one log at a time.
13 . Use extreme caution when re‑entering a previous cut.
Engage bucking spikes into wood and allow chain to reach full
speed before proceeding with cut.
14 . Do not attempt plunge cuts or bore cuts.
15 . Watch for shifting logs or other forces that could close a
cut and pinch or fall into chain.
16 . Only recommended guide bar and saw chain
combination(s) that can be used and that maintains
compliance with related standards.
17 . Use only recommended lubricants.
Kickback Safety Features

WARNING: The following features are included on your saw
to help reduce the hazard of kickback; however such features
will not totally eliminate this dangerous reaction. As a chain saw
user do not rely only on safety devices. You must follow all safety
precautions, instructions, and maintenance in this manual to help
avoid kickback and other forces which can result in serious injury.
• Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar, designed with a small radius tip
which reduces the size of the kickback danger zone on bar tip. A
reduced - kickback guide bar is one which has been demonstrated to
significantly reduce the number and seriousness of kickbacks when
tested in accordance with safety requirements for electric chain saws.
• Low-Kickback Chain, designed with a contoured depth gauge and
guard link which deflect kickback force and allow wood to gradually
ride into the cutter. A low-kickback chain is a chain which has met
kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1–2012.
• Do not operate chain saw while in a tree, on a ladder, on a
scaffold, or from any unstable surface.
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
• Do not attempt operations beyond your capacity or experience.
Read thoroughly and understand completely all instructions in
this manual.
• Before you start chain saw, make sure saw chain is not
contacting any object.
• Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious injury to
the operator, helpers, or bystanders may result from one handed
operation. A chain saw is intended for two-handed use only.
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or grease.
• Do not allow dirt, debris, or sawdust to build up on the motor or
outside air vents.
• Stop the chain saw before setting it down.
• Do not cut vines and/or small under brush.
• Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings
because slender material may catch the saw chain and be
whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
Chain Saw Names and Terms
• Bucking ‑ The process of cross cutting a felled tree or log into lengths.
• Motor Brake (if equipped) ‑ A device used to stop the saw
chain when the trigger is released.
30
• Chain Saw Powerhead ‑ A chain saw without the saw chain
and guide bar.
• Drive Sprocket or Sprocket ‑ The toothed part that drives the
saw chain.
• Felling ‑ The process of cutting down a tree.
• Felling Back Cut ‑ The final cut in a tree felling operation made
on the opposite side of the tree from the notching cut.
• Front Handle ‑ The support handle located at or toward the
front of the chain saw.
• Front Hand Guard ‑ A structural barrier between the front
handle of a chain saw and the guide bar, typically located close to
the hand position on the front handle.
• Guide Bar ‑ A solid railed structure that supports and guides the
saw chain.
• Scabbard/Guide Bar Cover ‑ Enclosure fitted over guide bar to
help prevent tooth contact when saw is not in use.
• Kickback ‑ The backward or upward motion, or both of the
guide bar occurring when the saw chain near the nose of the top
area of the guide bar contacts any object such as a log or branch,
or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
• Kickback, Pinch ‑ The rapid pushback of the saw which can
occur when the wood closes in and pinches the moving saw chain
in the cut along the top of the guide bar.
• Kickback, Rotational ‑ The rapid upward and backward
motion of the saw which can occur when the moving saw chain
near the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar contacts an
object, such as a log or branch.
• Limbing ‑ Removing the branches from a fallen tree.
• Low‑Kickback Chain ‑ A chain that complies with the kickback
performance requirements of ANSI B175.1–2012 (when tested on a
representative sample of chain saws.)
• Normal Cutting Position ‑ Those positions assumed in
performing the bucking and felling cuts.
• Notching Undercut ‑ A notch cut in a tree that directs the
tree's fall.
• Rear Handle ‑ The support handle located at or toward the rear
of the saw.
• Reduced Kickback Guide Bar ‑ A guide bar which has been
demonstrated to reduce kickback significantly.
• Replacement Saw Chain ‑ A chain that complies with
kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1–2012
when tested with specific chain saws. It may not meet the ANSI
performance requirements when used with other saws.
• Saw Chain ‑ A loop of chain having cutting teeth, that cut the
wood,and that is driven by the motor and is supported by the
guide bar.
• Ribbed Bumper ‑ The ribs used when felling or bucking to pivot
the saw and maintain position while sawing.
• Switch ‑ A device that when operated will complete or interrupt
an electrical power circuit to the motor of the chain saw.
• Switch Linkage ‑ The mechanism that transmits motion from a
trigger to the switch.
• Switch Lockout ‑ A movable stop that prevents the
unintentional operation of the switch until manually actuated.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
