personal injury.
Additional safety
instructions
• Follow the maintenance, control
and service instructions in this in-
struction manual carefully. Dam-
aged safety equipment and parts
must be repaired or replaced pro-
fessionally by our service centre,
unless otherwise indicated in the
instruction manual.
• It is recommended that a first-time
user at least practice the cutting of
logs on a saw log or frame.
• Lay the power cord so that it is not
caught by branches or similar dur-
ing sawing.
• For sawing work on slopes, always
stand in the area above the log. To
keep total control while "sawing
through", reduce the pressure at
the end of the cut without loosen-
ing your grip on the handles of
the chainsaw. Make sure the saw
chain does not touch the ground.
After completing the cut, wait until
the chainsaw has come to a stand-
still before removing the chain-
saw. Always shut off the motor
of the chainsaw before switching
between trees.
• Dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, clips
and wires must be removed from
the tree.
• Do not use any accessories
that are not recommended by
PARKSIDE. This can result in elec-
tric shock or fire.
Causes and Operator
Prevention of Kickback
• 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 (Fig. b).
• Tip contact in some cases may
cause a sudden reverse reaction,
kicking the guide bar up and back
towards the operator (Fig. a).
• 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 exclus-
ively 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 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.
