Safety instructions
al can get caught in the saw
chain and hit you or cause
you to lose your balance.
■
Carry the chain saw at the
front grip when it is
switched off, and have the
saw chain pointing away
from your body. Always put
on the protective cover
when transporting or stor-
ing the chain saw. Careful
handling of the chain saw re-
duces the probability of inad-
vertent contact with the run-
ning saw chain.
■
Follow the instructions for
lubrication, chain tension-
ing and changing accesso-
ries. An incorrectly tensioned
or lubricated chain can either
tear or increase the risk of
kickback.
■
Keep the grips dry, clean
and free from oil and
grease. Greasy, oily grips are
slippery and result in loss of
control.
■
Only saw wood. Do not use
the chain saw for work for
which it is not intended. Ex-
ample: Do not use the chain
saw for sawing plastic, ma-
sonry or construction mate-
rials that are not made of
wood. Using the chain saw

for non-designated work can
lead to dangerous situations.
3.8 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.
Tip contact in some cases may
cause a sudden reverse reac-
tion, 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 to-
wards 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 ex-
clusively upon the safety devices
built into your saw. As a chain
saw user, you should take sever-
al steps to keep your cutting jobs
free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool mis-
use 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 encir-
cling the chain saw han-
dles, with both hands on
