and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of balance or control
of the tool.
o) Carry the pruner switched off, by the front handle, the chain pointing forward. When transporting
or storing, always fit the guide bar cover. Proper handling of the chainsaw pruner will reduce the
likelihood of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
p) Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy or oily handles are slippery likely to
cause loss of control.
q) Only cut wood. Do not use the chainsaw pruner for purposes not intended. For example: do not use
for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials. The use of the pole pruner for operations
different than intended could result in a hazardous situation.
r) The chainsaw pruner is intended for cutting trees and shrubs in private use. The chainsaw pruner
may not be used for felling trees.
3.6- 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 chainsaw
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:
- 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.
- Do not over reach and do not cut above shoulder height. This helps prevent
unintended tip contact and enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected
situations.
- Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars
and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
- Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing
the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
