l) Follow all instructions when clearing
jammed material, storing or servicing
the pruning saw. Make sure the switch
is off and the battery pack is removed.
Unexpected actuation of the pruning saw while
clearing jammed material or servicing may
result in serious personal injury.
m) Recommendation that the first-time user
should, as a minimum, practise cutting logs
on a saw-horse or cradle.
n) Recommendation to have sharpening and
maintenance of the saw chain performed
by authorised service centres.
2) 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 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 pruning
saw user, you should take several steps to keep
your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of pruning 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 pruning saw
handles, 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 pruning saw.
b) Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height. This helps prevent
unintended tip contact and enables better
control of the pruning 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.
