KICKBACK

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.
