pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip con-
tact in some cases may cause a lightning
fast 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 rap-
idly back towards the operator. Either of
these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the saw which could result in
serious injury to user.
The following precautions should be fol-
lowed to minimize kickback.
(1) Grip Saw Firmly. Hold the chain saw
firmly with both hands when the motor
is running. Use a firm grip with
thumbs and fingers encircling the
chain saw handles.
(2) Do not over reach.
(3) Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
(4) Do not let the nose of the guide bar
contact a log, branch, ground, or other
obstruction.
(5) Do not cut above shoulder height.
(6) Use devices such as special guide
bars that reduce the risks associated
with kickback.
(7) Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer.
16. Replacement Parts
when servicing use only identical replace-
ment parts.
17. Before marking a felling cut, remove dirt,
stones, loose bark, nails, staples and wire
from the tree.
18. Secure the log so that it will not roll or
move suddenly during operation.
19. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Do
not carry the tool with finger on switch. Be
sure switch is in OFF position before
inserting battery cartridge.
20. Attention! Do not expose this tool to rain.
21. The chain saw must not be left outdoors
during rain and it must not be used when
wet.
22. Disconnect battery pack from tool or
place the switch in the locked or off posi-
tion before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
