the saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do
not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your
saw. As a chainsaw user, you should take several steps to
keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below:
Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
■
encircling the chainsaw 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 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
situations.
Use only replacement bars and chains that are
■
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement
bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/or
kickback.
Follow the manufacturer's
■
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
ADDITIONAL CHAINSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
It is recommended to cut logs on a saw-horse or cradle
■
when operating the product for the first time.
Ensure that all guards, handles, and spiked bumper are
■
properly fitted and are in good condition.
Persons using this chainsaw should be in good health.
■
The chainsaw is a heavy unit so the operator requires
to be physically fit. The operator should be alert, have
good vision, mobility, balance and manual dexterity. If
there is any doubt, do not operate the chainsaw.
Do not start using the product until you have a clear
■
work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path
away from the falling tree.
Beware of the emission of lubricant mist and saw dust.
■
Wear a mask or respirator if required.
Do not cut vines and/or small undergrowth (less than
■
75 mm in diameter).
Always hold the chainsaw with both hands when
■
operating the saw. Use a firm grip with thumbs and
fingers encircling the chainsaw handles. Right hand
must be on the rear handle and left hand on the front
handle.
Before starting the product, make sure that the saw
■
chain is not contacting any object.
Do not modify your tool in any way or use it to power
■
any attachments or devices that are not recommended
by the manufacturer for your saw.
There should be a first-aid kit containing large
■
wound dressings and a means to summon attention
(e.g., whistle) close to the operator. A larger more
comprehensive kit should be reasonably nearby.
Wear a helmet at all times when operating the product.
■
A helmet, equipped with mesh visor, can help reduce

the risk of injury to the face and the head if kickback
occurs.
An incorrectly tensioned chain can jump off the guide
■
bar and could result in serious injury or fatality. The
length of chain depends on the temperature of the
chain and chain wear. Check the tension frequently.
You should get used to your new chainsaw by making
■
simple cuts on securely supported wood. Do this
whenever you have not operated the saw for some
time.
To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting
■
moving parts, always stop the motor, apply chain brake,
remove the battery pack, and make sure that all moving
parts have come to a stop before:
–
–
–
–
The size of the work area depends on the job being
■
performed as well as the size of the tree or work piece
involved. For example, felling a tree requires a larger
sharpening and
work area than making other cuts, i.e., bucking cuts,
etc. The operator needs to be aware and in control of
everything happening in this work area.
Do not cut with your body in line with the guide bar
■
and chain. If you do experience kickback this will help
prevent the chain from coming into contact with your
head or body.
Do not use a back and forward sawing motion, let the
■
chain do the work, keep the chain sharp and don't try to
push the chain through the cut.
Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.
■
Be ready to take on the weight of the saw as it cuts free
from the wood. Failure to do so could result in possible
serious personal injury.
Do not stop the saw in the middle of a cutting operation.
■
Keep the saw running until it is removed from the cut.
