KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FOR CHAIN SAW USERS
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, kick-
ing the guide bar up and back to-
wards 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 Iose con-
trol of the saw, which could result in
serious personal injury.
Do not rely exclusively on the safety
devices built into your saw. As a chain
saw user you should take several
steps to keep cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
(1) With a basic understanding of kick-
back you can reduce or eliminate the
element of surprise. Sudden surprise
contributes to accidents.
(2) Keep a good grip on the saw with
both hands, the right hand on the rear
handle, and the left hand on the front
handle, when the engine is running.
Use a firm grip with thumbs and fin-
gers encircling the chain saw
handles. A firm grip will help you re-
duce kickback and maintain control
of the saw.
(3) Make certain that the area in which
you are cutting is free from obstruc-
tions. Do not let the nose of the guide
bar contact a log, branch, or any
other obstruction which could be hit
while you are operating the saw.
(4) Cut at high engine speeds. (full
throttle)
(5) Do not overreach or cut above shoul-
der height.
(6) If you have to cut branches or the like
that are above shoulder height, a
working platform or scaffold is rec-
ommended.
(7) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the
saw chain.
(8) Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the manufacturer.

FOR PROTECTING YOUR BODY FROM VIBRATION
If you continue to use high-vibration tools these
symptoms will probably get worse, for example:
The numbness in your hands could become per-
manent and you won't be able to feel things at all;
You will have difficulty picking up small objects such
as screws or nails;
The white finger syndrome could occur more fre-
quently and affect more of your fingers.
Please observe the following, in order to protect the
health of your body.
1. Always use the right tool for each job (to do the job
more quickly and expose you to less hand-arm vi-
bration).
2. Check tools before using them to make sure they
have been properly maintained and repaired to avoid
increased vibration caused by faults or general wear.
3. Make sure cutting tools are kept sharp so that they
remain efficient.
4. Reduce the amount of time you use a tool at one
time, by doing other jobs in between.
5. Avoid gripping or forcing a tool or workpiece more
than you have to.
6. Store tools so that they do not have very cold handles
when used.
7. Encourage good blood circulation by:
keeping warm and dry (when necessary, wear
gloves, a hat, waterproofs and use heating pads if
available);
give up or cut down on smoking because smoking
reduces blood flow; massage and exercise your fin-
gers to increase blood circulation.
DISPOSAL
When disposing of your machine, fuel or oil in the
machine, be sure to follow your local regulations.
