Kickback Safety Devices on This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced
kickback chain bar. Both items reduce the chance of
kickback. Kickback can still occur with this saw.
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.
–
Never use dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp with
proper tension.
General behavior
Use the chain saw only with secure footing. Hold the
chain saw at the right-hand side of your body.
The chain must be running at full speed before it makes
contact with the wood. Use the metal gripping teeth to
secure the saw onto the wood before starting to cut. Use
the gripping teeth as a leverage point "a" while cutting.

Do not operate the chain saw with arms fully extended
or attempt to saw areas which are difficult to reach, or
on a ladder. Never use the chain saw above shoulder
height.
SAW MAINTENANCE AND KICKBACK SAFETY
Follow maintenance instructions in this manual. Proper
cleaning of saw and chain and guide bar maintenance
can reduce chances of kickback. Inspect and maintain
