saw always fit the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chain saw will
reduce the Iikelihood of accidentaI
contact with the moving saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating,
k)
chain tensioning and changing ac-
cessories.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated
chain may either break or increase the
chance for kickback.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free
l)
from oil and grease. Greasy, oily
handles are slippery causing loss of
control.
m) 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.
7) KICKBACK CAUSES AND HOW
TO AVOID THEM:
Beware of kickback! Be careful of
kickback of the machine during
work. There is danger of injury
here. You can avoid kickbacks by
exercising caution and using a cor-
rect sawing technique.
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 rap-
idly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you
to lose control of the saw which could re-
sult 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:
a) 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 kick-
back forces. Kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken. Do not let go of
the chain saw
b) Do not overreach and do not cut
above shoulder height. This helps
prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chain
saw in unexpected
Only use replacement bars and
c)
chains specified by the manufac-
turer. Incorrect replacement bars and
chains may cause chain breakage
and/or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer´s sharpen-
ing and maintenance instructions
for the saw chain. Decreasing the
depth gauge height can lead to in-
creased kickback.
