is running at full throttle.
It is extremely important that the chain brake be checked for proper operation before each use and that the
chain be sharpened to keep kickback at a safe level.
Removal of safety devices, improper maintenance, or incorrect replacement of the rail or chain can increase the
risk of serious injury from kickback.
6.2 Kickback Prevention Measures
CAREFUL!
Kickback can occur when the tip of the guide rail contacts an object or when the wood closes and catches the
chainsaw chain in the cut. Contact in the upper portion can cause a quick, reverse reaction that redirects the
guide rail up and back toward the operator. If the saw chain is caught along the tip of the guide rail, it can be
quickly pushed back toward the operator. Any of these reactions can cause you to lose control of the chainsaw
, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Do not rely solely on the safety devices that come with your chainsaw . As a chainsaw user , you must take
several precautions to protect yourself from accidents or injuries during use.
1)
With a basic knowledge of recoil you can reduce or eliminate unpleasant elements that can occur.
2)
Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands, right hand on the rear handle and left hand on the front
handle, when the engine is running. Hold the chainsaw handle firmly with your fingers . The firm grip
will help reduce kickback and maintain control of the chainsaw .
3)
Make sure the area you are cutting is clear of obstacles. Do not allow the head of the guide rail to
come into contact with logs, branches or any other obstacles that may be hit while using the chainsaw
.
4)
Cut at high engine speeds.
5)
Do not cut above chest level.
6)
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for sharpening and maintaining your chainsaw .
7)
Use only replacement tracks and chains specified by the RURIS manufacturer.
Kickback protection

kickback safety. Removal of safety devices, improper maintenance, or
incorrect replacement of the rail or chain can increase the risk of serious
injury from kickback.

Always follow the safety rules. The chainsaw should only be used to cut wood. It is
forbidden to cut other types of materials. Vibration and kickback vary with the
material, and the requirements of the safety instructions would not be met. If the
chainsaw is caught in the cut, do not try to force it out, use a wooden wedge or jack
to open the slot.
The chainsaw is equipped with a chain brake, which will stop it in case of kickback,
if operated properly. You must check the operation of the chain brake before each
use by testing the chainsaw by pushing the front guard forward. The chain should
stop immediately. Otherwise, contact an authorized RURIS service to remedy the
problem.
It is not necessary to force the chainsaw to cut. Apply light pressure while the engine
