„ Guard against electric shock – Avoid body contact with
grounded surfaces such as metal pipes and wire fences.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is grounded.
„ Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly
adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled.
Chain should slow to a stop when the switch trigger is
released. If the chain continues to turn after the switch
trigger has been released, have the unit serviced by an
authorized service center.
„ Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this
manual.
„ All chain saw service, other than the items listed in
the operation and maintenance sections, should be
performed by your an authorized service center.
„ Always maintain a proper stance.
„ Do not use chain saw if switch does not turn it on and
off. Have defective switch replaced by an authorized
service center.
„ Do not adapt your powerhead to a bow guide or use it to
power any attachments or devices not listed for the saw.
„ Disconnect chain saw from power supply when not in
use, before servicing, and when making adjustments and
changing attachments, such as saw chain and guard.
„ Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.
„ Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, rooftop,
scaffold, or other unstable support; this is extremely
dangerous.
NOTE: The size of the work area depends on the job
being performed as well as the size tree or work piece
involved. For example, felling a tree requires a larger work
area than making bucking cuts.
„ Do not force the chain saw. The job can be performed
better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
„ Always use the right product for your application. The
chain saw should be used for cutting wood only. Never
use the chain saw to cut plastic, masonry or non-wood
building materials.
„ Store chain saw when not charging or when not in use.
Chain saw should be stored in a dry and high or locked
area out of the reach of children. When storing chain saw
place the scabbard on the bar and chain.
„ Use this product only with batteries and chargers listed
in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation
supplement 987000-432.
„ Battery operated units do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating
CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
condition. Be aware of possible hazards even when unit
is not operating.
„ Remove the battery pack from the chain saw when not
charging and before cleaning, servicing, storing, removing
material from the unit, changing accessories such as the
bar and chain, or when not in use.
„ Never use water or any liquids to clean or rinse off your
product and do not expose the product to rain or wet
conditions. Store indoors in a dry area. Corrosive liquids,
water, and chemicals can enter the product's electronic
components and/or battery compartment and damage
electronic components and/or the battery pack, which
can result in a short circuit, increased risk of fire, and
serious personal injury. Remove any buildup of dirt
and debris by wiping the product clean with a dry cloth
occasionally.
KICKBACK
See Figures 2 - 4.
WARNING:
Kickback may occur when the moving chain contacts an
object at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar or
when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the
cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tip of the guide
bar can cause the chain to dig into the object and stop the
chain for an instant. The result is a lightning fast, reverse
reaction which kicks the guide bar up and back toward
the operator. If the saw chain is pinched along the top of
the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly back
toward the operator. Either of these reactions can cause
loss of saw control which can result in serious injury. Do
not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the
saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps
to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
„ The following precautions should be followed to
minimize kickback:
• Always grip the saw firmly with both hands. Hold the
saw firmly with both hands when the unit is running.
Place your right hand on the rear handle and your left
hand on the front handle with your thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip together
with a stiff left arm will help you maintain control of the
saw if kickback occurs.
• Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free
from obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar
contact a log, branch, fence, or any other obstruction
that could be hit while you are operating the saw.
• Always cut with the unit running at full speed. Fully
squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain a steady
cutting speed.
