Kickback
Warning! 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 lightning fast reverse reaction. Kicking the guide bar up and back towards
the operator, pinching the saw chain along the top of these reactions may cause you to
lose control of the saw which could result in serious injury to operator.
Kickback safety devices on this saw. (Fig.15)
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kickback guide bar, both items reduce
the chance of kickback, kickback can still occur with this saw.
Properly install front hand guard, this item can reduce injures from kickback, do not
remove front hand guard, do not replace front hand guard with substitute.
The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback.
-
Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers
must wrap around saw handles.
-
Keep all safety items in place on saw make sure they work properly.
-
Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
-
Keep solid footing and balance at all times.
-
Stand slightly to left side of saw. This keeps your body from being in direct line with
chain.
-
Do not let guide bar nose touch anything when chain is moving.

-
Never try cutting through two logs at same time, only cut one log at a time.
-
Do not bury guide bar nose or try plunge cut (boring into wood using guide bar nose)
-
Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that may pinch chain.
-
Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut.
-
Use low-kickback chain and guide bar supplied with this chain saw. Only replace
these parts with chains and guide bar listed in this manual.
-
Never use dull or loose chain, keep chain sharp with proper tension.
-
Do not hand-sharpen chain on automatic chain sharpening (fast sharp) models.
Avoid jamming
Always cut into the compression wood first until the cut starts to close. Always make the
compression cut beneath if the log or limb is suspended from one end, and on top if it
is supported at both ends, cut from the other side towards the compression cut, make
a habit of using a wedge to prevent the compression cut jamming tight on the chainsaw
blade.
To avoid damage to the motor, do not keep the chain saw running if the chain is lodged in
the wood.
Extension cord support
During use of the chainsaw. The extension cord will continually be pulled as you move
from one area to another.
