15.Check Damaged Parts.
a.Before further use of the chain saw, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual.

16.Guard Against Kickback.
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 saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, 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 reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious injury to user.
The following precautions should be followed to minimize kickback:
a.Grip Saw firmly.
Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when the motor is running.
Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles.
b.Do not over reach.
c.Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
d.Don’t let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, ground or other obstruction.
e.Don’t cut above shoulder height.
f.Use devices such as low kickback chain, guide bar nose guards and special guide bars that reduce the risks associated with kickback.
