Saw Maintenance and Kickback Safety

Follow maintenance instructions in this manual. Proper cleaning of saw and chain

and guide bar maintenance can reduce chances of kickback. Inspect and maintain

saw after each use. This will increase the service life of your saw. Note: Even with

proper sharpening, risk of kicklSack can increase with each sharpening.

PUSHBACK AND PULL-IN

Avoid pushback and pull-in. These hazards can cause you to lose

control of chain saw. Pushback or pull-in can cause severe injury.

Cause Of Pushback and Pull-In

Pushback may occur while cutting with top of guide bar. Pushback will force saw

back towards you. Pull-in may occur while cutting with bottom of guide bar. Pull-in

will force saw in towards wood you are cutting. These hazards can occur if chain is

pinched, caught, or contacts a non-wood object.

The following steps will reduce the risk of pushback or pull-in.

• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. Use firm gTip. Thumbs and

fingers must wrap around saw handles.

• 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.

• Have saw running at full speed before starting a cut.

• When cutting, make sure spike of saw is against wood (pull-in only). See

Product Identification, page 6, to locate spike.

• Never try cutting through two logs at same time. Only cut one log at a time.

• Watch for shifting of log or other forces that may pinch chain.

• Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut.

• Do not twist saw when removing guide bar from undercut.

• Use wedges made of plastic, wood, orlight alloy (never steel or iron) to hold cut open.
