• Hold the electric power tool by the insulated handle surfaces, as the saw chain may contact
hidden wiring. If the saw chain comes into contact with a live line, metallic parts of the device
may become energised and cause an electric shock.
• Wear goggles and hearing protection. Additional head, hands, legs and feet protective
equipment is recommended. Suitable protective clothing reduces the risk of injury from flying
splinters and accidentally touching the saw chain.
• Do not work with the chain saw in a tree. When operating the chain saw in a tree, there is a risk
of injury.
• Always ensure you have a firm footing and use the chain saw only when standing on solid, safe
and level ground. Slippery ground or unsteady footing, such as on a ladder, may cause you to
lose your balance or lose control of the chain saw.
• When cutting a branch under tension, expect it to spring back. When the tension in the wood
fibres is released, the branch under tension may strike the operator and/or cause him to lose
control of the chain saw.
• Be particularly careful when cutting undergrowth and young trees. Thin material may become
caught in the saw chain and strike you or cause you to lose your balance.
• Carry the chain saw, switched off, by the front handle, ensuring that the chain saw is turned
away from your body. Handle the chain saw carefully to reduce the likelihood of inadvertently
touching the running saw chain. Always pull on the protective cover when transporting or
storing the chainsaw. Follow the instructions for lubrication, tensioning the chain and changing
the accessories. An improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either snap or increase the
risk of a kickback.
• Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Greasy and oily handles are slippery and
will cause a loss of control.
• Saw wood only. Please do not use the chain saw for work that is not designed. Example: Do not
use the chain saw for sawing plastic, masonry or building materials not made of wood. If the
chain saw is not used as intended, this may result in hazardous situations.
Causes of and avoiding a kickback
A kickback can occur when the tip of the guide rail touches an object or
the wood bends, and the saw chain becomes jammed in the cut. If the rail tip
touches an object, this may occasionally cause an unexpected reaction
