Kickback Safety Devices On

This Saw

This saw has a low-kickback chain and

reduced kickback guide bar. Both items

reduce the chance of kickback. Kickback

can still occur with this saw.

Properly install front hand guard. This item

can reduce injuries from kickback. Follow

assembly instructions on page 6. Do not

remove front hand guard. Do not replace

front hand guard with substitute.

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 at all

times

• 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).

other

• before servicing

• before changing accessories or at-

tachments, such as saw chain and

guard

2. Inspect chain saw before and after each

use. Check saw closely if guard or other

part has been damaged. Check for any

damage that may affect operator safety

or operation of saw. Check for align-

ment or binding of moving parts. Check

for broken or damaged parts. Do not

use chain saw if damage affects safety

or operation. Have damage repaired by

authorized service center.

3. Maintain chain saw with care.

• Never expose saw to rain.

cated for better and safer performance.

• Follow steps outlined in this manual

to sharpen chain.

•Keep handles dry, clean, and free of

oil and grease.

aged, have repaired by authorized

service center.

placement parts.

• in a high or locked place, out of

children’s reach

over guide bar

Keep this manual for reference. It is your

guide to safe and proper operation of this

chain saw.

•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 reentering 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 with proper tension.

• Do not hand sharpen chain on automatic

chain sharpening (Fast Sharp) models.

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 kickback can

increase with each sharpening.

WARNING: Kickback may oc-

cur 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 lightning fast reverse re-

action, 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 re-

actions may cause you to lose

control of the saw which could

result in serious injury to user.
