age to the flywheel could occur which could subsequently cause the flywheel to disintegrate.)

16.Always shut off the engine be- fore setting it down.

17. Use extreme caution when cut-

ting small size brush and sap-

lings because slender material

may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

18.When cutting a limb that is un- der tension, be alert for spring- back so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released.

19.Never cut in high wind, bad

weather, when visibility is poor or in very high or low temperatures. Always check the tree for dead branches which could fall during the felling operation.

20.Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture.

21.Operate the chain saw only in well ventilated areas. Never start or run the engine inside a closed room or building. Exhaust fumes contain dangerous carbon mon- oxide.

22.Do not operate the chain saw in a tree unless specially trained to

do so.

23. Guard against kickback. Kick- back is the upward motion of the guide bar which occurs when the saw chain at the nose of the guide bar contacts an object. Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the chain saw.

24. When transporting your chain saw, make sure the appropriate guide bar scabbard is in place.

KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAU-

TIONS FOR CHAIN SAW USERS

WARNING

•Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the

G3800

 

saw chain in the cut. Tip contact

 

in some cases may cause a light-

 

ning fast reverse reaction,kicking

 

the guide bar up and back to-

 

wards the operator. Pinching the

 

saw chain along the top of the

 

guide bar may push the guide

G

bar rapidly back towards the op-

B

erator. Either of these reactions

 

may cause you to Iose control of

 

the saw, which could result in

 

serious personal injury.

 

•Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user you should take several steps to keep cut- ting jobs free from accident or

injury.

(1)With a basic understanding of kickback you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.

(2)Keep a good grip on the saw with

both hands, the right hand on the rear handle, and the left hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce kick- back and maintain control of the saw.

(3)Make certain that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, or any other obstruction which could be hit while you are operating the saw.

(4)Cut at high engine speeds.

(5) Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

(6)Follow the manufacturer’s sharp- ening and maintenance instruc- tions for the saw chain.

(7) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufac- turer or the equivalent.
