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 sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain. 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. If you experience any of the symptoms
of this condition, immediately discontinue use and see your
physician about these symptoms.
■ The recommended cutting capacity of this chain saw
is 153mm (6 in.) and smaller to prolong the life of the
tool and allow for safest operation. Cutting logs with a
diameter larger than this will cause excess wear on your
tool. Logs with a maximum diameter of 229mm (9in.)
can be cut, but should only be done so rarely and with
caution.
■ The integral spiked bumper is designed to assist cutting.
When forced against the log while cutting it provides a
more stable pivot point.
■ Any chainsaw is potentially lethal if used inappropriately.
It is strongly suggested that you seek professional
training in the safety and use of this tool.
