 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 other than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR
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 chain saw 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 chain saw handles, with both hands on the saw
and your body and arm positioned 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.
 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.
 Only use replacement bars and chains specified by
the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and
chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
 Follow the manufacturer's
maintenance instructions
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

 It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held
tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's

Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may
include tingling, numbness and blanching of the
fi ngers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold.
Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness,
diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to
contribute to the development of these symptoms. It
is presently unknown what, if any, vibrations or extent
of exposure may contribute to the condition. There
are measures that can be taken by the operator to
possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
 Keep your body warm in cold weather. When
operating the unit wear gloves to keep the hands
and wrists warm. It is reported that cold weather
is a major factor contributing to Raynaud's
Syndrome.
 After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
 Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.

a diameter larger than this will cause excess wear on
