• 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 specified by the
manufacturer. Incorrect replace-
ment guide bars and saw chains
may cause chain breakage and/or
kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's
sharpening and maintenance in-
structions for the saw chain. De-
creasing the depth gauge height
can lead to increased kickback.
