• Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Greasy handles are prone to slippage.
• Only use the chain saw for cutting wood. Do not use the chain saw for purposes other than the ones intended. For example: Do not use the chain saw to
cut plastic, stone, or non-wood building materials. The use of the chain saw for operations other than the intended ones will result in dangerous situations.
REASONS FOR TOOL REBOUND AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES
• If the head of the guide plate touches an object or the wood clamps and squeezes the chain during cutting, it may cause rebound.
• Sometimes when the head of the guide plate touches an object, a sudden reaction force will be formed, which will pop up the guide plate and eject it towards
the operator.
• Squeezing the chain along the upper part of the guide plate may quickly push the guide plate back to the operator. Any of these reaction forces may cause
the chain saw to lose control and cause serious personal injury.
• Do not rely solely on the safety equipment installed on the chain saw.
• As a chain saw operator, you should take a variety of measures to prevent accidents or personal injury during cutting operations.
• Misoperation of the chain saw, incorrect operation steps or operating conditions will cause rebound. Observe the precautions described below:
1) Keep a firm grip and hold the chain saw handle with both thumbs and the rest of your fingers. Adjust the position of the body and arms to prevent rebound
forces. If you follow the correct precautions, the operator can control the rebound force, please be careful during operation.
2) Do not extend the tool too far and do not hold the chain saw above your shoulders during operation. This will help to prevent the head of the guide plate
from touching the object and ensure better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
3) Please use only replacement guides and chains specified by the manufacturer. Using inappropriate replacement guides and chains may cause the chain to
break and or rebound.
4) Follow the manufacturer's polishing and maintenance instructions to maintain the chain. Reducing the depth and height will cause frequent rebounds.
