your body and arms positioned so that they 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
chainsaw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height.
This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better
control of the chainsaw 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.
• The cable should be positioned so that it will not be caught on
branches and the like during cutting.
• It is recommended that, as a minimum, the first-time user
practise cutting logs on a sawhorse or cradle.
