GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK

Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead to

serious injury. Do not rely only on the safety devices

provided wtthyoursaw. Asa chin saw user, you must

take special safety precautions to help keep your

cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

_k KICKBACK WARNING

Kickback can occur whenthe moving chain contacts anobject atthe upper portionofthe tip of the guidebar

or when the woodclosesinand pinches the saw chain

in the cut.Contactattheupperportionofthetipofthe

guidebarcan cause thechainto digintothe objectand stop the chain for an instant. The result is a h'ghtning

fast, reversereaction which kickstheguide bar upand back toward the operator,ff the saw chain is pinched

along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be

dttvenrapidlyback towardtheoperator.Either ol_these

reactions can cause loss of saw control which can resultin se,'lous injurj.

KICKBACK

PATH

Figure 1

1. Recognize that kickbackcan happen. With abasic

understandingofkickback,youcanreduce theele- mentof surprise whichcontributestoaccidents.

2. Never let the moving chain contact any object at

the tip of the guide bar. Figure 1.

3. Keep the working area free from obstructions such as other trees, branches, rocks, fences,

stumps, etc. Figure 2. Eliminate or avoid any obstructionthat yoursaw chain couldhit whileyou

are cutting through a particular logor branch.

4. Keep your saw chain sharp and properly

tensioned. A loose or dull chain can increase the chance of kickback. Follow manufacturer's chain

sharpening and maintenance instructions.Check tensionat regular intervals with the motorstopped,

neverwiththemotor running.Makesurethatbarclamp nuts are securelytightenedaftertensioningthe chain.

5, Begin and continue cutting only with the chain

moving at full speed. If the chain is moving at a slowerspeed, there isgreater chance for kickback

to o_ur.

6. Cut one log at a time.

7. Use extreme caution when reentering a previous

cut.

8."Do not attempt plunge cuts.

9. Watch for shiffing logs Orother forces that could

close a cut and pinch or fall into the chain.

10. Use the Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar and Low-

Kickback Chain specified for your saw.

NOTE

Exposuretovibrationsthroughprolonged use of this tool may produce Whitefingerdisease (Raynaud's phenomenon) This phenomenon reduces the hand's ability to feel and regulate temperature, produces numbness and burning

sensations and can cause nerve and circulation damage and tissue necrosis.

An anti-vibration system designed to reduce engine vibration is recommended for those using power tools on a regular or sustained basis. An anti-vibration system does not guarantee the avoidance of Whitefinger disease,

Continual and regular users must monitor closely theii- use of power tools and physical condition.

THIS CHAIN SAW IS FOR OCCASIONAL USE ONLY.
