personal injury.
• Always keep proper footing
and operate the chain saw
only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface.
Slippery or unstable surfaces
such as ladders may cause a
loss of balance or control of the
chain saw.
• When cutting a limb that is
under tension be alert for
spring back. When the tension
in the wood fibres is released
the spring loaded limb may
strike the operator and/or throw
the chain saw out of control.
• Use extreme caution when
cutting brush and saplings.
The slender material may catch
the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off
balance.
• Carry the chain saw by
the front handle with the
chain saw switched off and
away from your body. When
transporting or storing the
chain saw always fit the guide
bar cover. Proper handling of
the chain saw will reduce the
likelihood of accidental contact
with the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for
lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either
break or increase the chance for
kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
• Cut wood only. Do not use
chain saw for purposes not
intended. For example: do not
use chain saw for cutting plastic,
masonry or non-wood building
materials. Use of the chain
saw for operations different
than intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
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.
