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.
10.Follow
lubricating, chain tensioning
and changing accessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated
chain may either break or increase
the chance for kickback.
11.Keep handles dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease. Greasy,
oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
12.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.
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
instructions for
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:
1. Maintain a firm grip, with
thumbs and fingers encircling
the chain saw handles, with
both hands on the saw and
position your body and arm
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.
2. Do not overreach and do not
cut above shoulder height.
This helps prevent unintended tip
contact and enables better control
