6. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Chain saw safety warnings
a) Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when the chain saw is operating.
Before you start the chain saw, 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 saw chain.
b) Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on
the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a reversed hand configuration increases the
risk of personal injury and should never be done.
c) Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal
injury by flying debris or accidental contact with the saw chain.
d) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Operation of a chain saw while up in a tree may
result in personal injury.
e) Always keep proper footing and operate the chain saw only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss
of balance or control of the chain saw.
f) When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for spring back. When the tension in
the wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb may strike the operator and/or throw
the chain saw out of control.
g) 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.
h) Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the chain saw switched off and away from
your body. When transporting or storing the chain saw always fit the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with the
moving saw chain.
i) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or increase the chance for
kickback.
j) Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
k) 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 different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
l) Causes and operator prevention of 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:
