e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Warning! Additional safety warnings for
chainsaws
Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain
when the chainsaw is operating. Before you start the
chainsaw, make sure the saw chain is not contacting
anything. A moment of inattention while operating chain
saws may cause entanglement of your clothing or body
with the chain saw.
Always hold the chainsaw with your right hand on the
rear handle and your left hand on the front handle.
done.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the saw chain may contact hidden
wiring. Saw chains contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further
recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce
the saw chain.
Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree. Operation of a

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 chainsaw 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 chainsaw for purposes not
intended. For example: do not use the chainsaw for
cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materi-
als. Use of the chainsaw 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
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.

Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your
chainsaw. As a chainsaw user, you should take several steps
ing procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:
cling the chainsaw handles. With both hands on the
chainsaw, position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be control-
led by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not
let go of the chainsaw.
Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chainsaw in unexpected situ-
ations.
by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide bars
Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and mainte-
nance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the
depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
Striking metal, cement or any other hard material near the
wood, or buried in the wood can cause kickback.
A dull or loose chain can cause kickback.
Do not try to insert into a previous cut. As this could cause
kickback. Make a fresh cut every time.
