Skating / Bouncing
When the handsaw fails to dig in during a cut, the guide
bar can begin hopping or dangerously skidding along
the surface of branch, possibly resulting in the loss of
control of the handsaw. To prevent or reduce skating or
bouncing, when necessary use the saw with both hands
make sure the saw chain establishes a groove for cutting.
Personal protective equipment
Wear a helmet when possible when operating the
machine. A helmet, equipped with mesh visor, can help
reduce the risk of injury to the face and the head. Wear
ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Good quality personal protective equipment, as used
by professionals, will help reduce the risk of injury to
the operator. The following items should be used when
operating the machine:
Safety helmet
should comply with EN 397 and be CE marked
Hearing protection
should comply with EN 352-1 and be CE marked
Eye and face protection
should be CE marked and comply with EN 166 (for
safety glasses) or EN 1731 (for mesh visors)
Gloves
should comply with EN381-7 and be CE marked
Leg protection (chaps)
should comply with EN 381-5, be CE marked and
provide allround protection
Chain saw safety boots
should comply with EN ISO 20345:2004 and be
marked with a shield depicting a chain saw to
show compliance with EN 381-3. (Occasional users
may use steel toe-cap safety boots with protective
gaiters which conform to EN 381-9 if the ground is
even and there is little risk of tripping or catching
on undergrowth)

WARNING
Consequences of improper maintenance, removal
or modification of safety features like the protective
cover, ignition switch, hand guard, guide bar, low
kick-back saw chain may cause the safety features
to not function correctly, thus increasing the
potential for serious injury.
Low kick-back saw chain
A low-kick-back saw chain helps to reduce the possibility
of a kickback event.The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of
each cutter can minimize the force of a kick-back reaction
by preventing the cutters from digging in too deeply.
Only use replacement guide bar and chain combinations
recommended by the manufacturer.As saw chains are
sharpened, they lose some of the low kickback qualities
and extra caution is required. For your safety, replace saw
chains when cutting performance decreases.
