• Avoid unusual postures and do not
cut above shoulder height. This avoids
accidentally touching objects with the tip
of the bar and allows for a better control
of the chain saw in unexpected situations.
• Only use the replacement bars and
chains prescribed by the manufactur-
er. The use of wrong replacement bars
and chains may lead to chain breaks or
kickbacks.
• Adhere to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions to sharpen and maintain the
chain. Depth limiters that are too low
increase the risk of a kickback.
• Set the loop so that it is not detected
during operation of branches or the
like.
