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
reaction, 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
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 exclusively 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:
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement guide bars and saw chains may cause
chain breakage and/or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
Residual risks
Even with the intended use of the appliance there is
always a residual risk, which can not prevented.
According to the type and construction of the appliance
the following potential hazards might apply:
- Contact with exposed saw teeth of the saw chain
(cutting hazards)
- Access to the rotating saw chain (cutting hazards)
- Unforeseen, abrupt movement of the guide bar
(cutting hazards)
- Flung out of parts from the saw chain (Cutting /
injection hazards)
- Flung out of parts of the work piece
- Skin contact with the oil
- Loss of hearing, if no required ear protection used
during work
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or
battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not
store battery packs haphazardly in a box or
drawer where they may short-circuit each
other or be short-circuited by conductive
materials. When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that
can make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire.
Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical
shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow
the liquid to come into contact with the skin
or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the
affected area with copious amounts of water
and seek medical advice.
f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or
battery pack has been swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean
dry cloth if they become dirty.
i) Battery pack needs to be charged before use.
Always refer to this instruction and use the
correct charging procedure.
j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge when
not in use.
k) After extended periods of storage, it may
be necessary to charge and discharge
the battery pack several times to obtain
maximum performance.
l) Recharge only with the charger specified by
Kress. Do not use any charger other than
that specifically provided for use with the
equipment.
m) Do not use any battery pack which is not
designed for use with the equipment.
n) Keep battery pack out of the reach of
children.
o) Retain the original product literature for
future reference.
p) Remove the battery from the equipment when
not in use.
q) Dispose of properly.
r) Do not mix cells of different manufacture,
capacity, size or type within a device.
s) Do not remove battery pack from its original
packaging until required for use.
t) Observe the plus (+) and minus (–) marks on
the battery and ensure correct use.

Instructions concerning the proper techniques
for basic felling, limbing, and cross-cutting
1. Felling a tree
When bucking and felling operations are being performed
by two or more persons at the same time, the felling
operations should be separated from the bucking
operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the
tree being felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner
that would endanger any person, strike any utility line or
cause any property damage. If the tree does make
contact with any utility line, the company should be
