KICKBACK

WARNINGICON G 001

WARNING: Avoid Kickback.

Kickback can cause you to lose

control of chain saw. Kickback

can cause severe injury or death.

Kickback Safety Devices On

This Saw

This saw has a low-kickback chain and

reduced-kickback guide bar. Both items re-

duce the chance of kickback. Kickback can

still occur with this saw. Do not let tip of

guide bar touch anything when chain is

moving.

Never hold the chain saw by the front hand

guard.

Cause Of Kickback

Kickback may occur when nose or tip of

guide bar touches an object while chain is

moving. If chain cutter catches on object, a

sudden reverse action will result. The guide

bar will kick up and back towards operator.

Kickback may also occur when wood

pinches chain at guide bar nose. A sudden

reverse action will also result.

The following steps will reduce the risk of

kickback:

• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is

running. Use ﬁrm grip. Thumbs and

ﬁngers must wrap around saw handles.

• Keep all safety items in place on saw.

Make sure they work properly.

• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder

height.

• Keep solid footing and balance.

• Stand slightly to left side of saw. This

keeps your body from being in direct line

with chain.

• Do not let guide bar nose touch anything

when chain is moving (see Figure 1).

• Never try cutting through two logs at

same time. Only cut one log at a time.

• Do not bury guide bar nose or try plunge

cut (boring into wood using guide bar nose).

• Watch for shifting of wood or other

forces that may pinch chain.

• Use extreme caution when re-entering a

previous cut.

• Use low-kickback chain and guide bar

supplied with this chain saw. Only re-

place these parts with chains and guide

bars listed in this manual.

• Never use dull or loose chain. Keep chain

sharp and tensioned correctly.
