c) Hold the chain saw by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting a
''live''wire may make exposed metal parts of the
chain saw ''live''and could give the operator an
electric shock.
d) Wear safety glasses protection. Further
protective equipment for hearing, head, hands,
legs and feet is recommended. Adequate
protective clothing will reduce personal injury by
flying debris or accidental contact with the saw
chain.
e) Do not operate a chain saw on a ladder, from a
rooftop, or any unstable support. Operation of
a chain saw in this manner could result in serious
personal injury.
f) Always keep proper footing and operate the
chain saw only when standing on fixed, secure
and level surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces
may cause a loss of balance or control of the chain
saw.
g) When cutting a limb that is under tension , be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released , the spring loaded limb may
strike the operator and/or throw the chain saw out
of control.
h) Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
i) Carry the chain saw by the front handle with
the chain saw switched off and away from your
body. When transporting or storing the chain
saw , always fit the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the chain saw will reduce the likelihood
of accidental contact with the moving saw chain.
j) Follow instructions for lubricating, chain
tensioning and changing the bar and chain.
Improperly tensioned or lubricated chain may either
break or increase the chance for kickback.
k) Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for
purposes not intended. For example: do not use
chain saw for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or
non-wood building materials. Use of the chain
saw for operations different than intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
l) Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an
understanding of the risks and how to avoid
them. Serious injury could occur to the operator or
bystanders while felling a tree.
m) Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you
have been specifically trained to do so. Operation
of a chain saw in a tree without proper training could
increase the risk of serious personal injury.
n) Follow all instructions when clearing jammed
material, storing or servicing the chain saw.
Make sure the switch is off and the battery pack
is removed. Unexpected actuation of the chain saw
while clearing jammed material or servicing may
20V 12" Brushless Chainsaw
result in serious personal injury.
o) Recommendation that the first-time user
should, as a minimum, practise cutting logs on a
saw-horse or cradle.
p) Recommendation to have sharpening and
maintenance of the saw chain performed by
authorised service centres.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR
PREVENTION OF KICKBACK
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 sudden
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back
towards 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 lose
control of the saw which could result in serious
personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the
safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw
user, you should take several steps to keep your
cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of chain saw misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below:
a) Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position your body and
arm to 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 chain saw.
b) Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder
height. This helps prevent unintended tip contact
and enables better control of the chain saw in
unexpected situations.
c) Only use replacement bars and chains specified
by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide
bars and saw chains may cause chain breakage
and/or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery
pack.
