GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Avoid increasing vibration levels.

General rules

Only use cutting equipment recommended by us! See instructions under the heading Technical data.

Keep the chain’s cutting teeth properly sharpened! Follow our instructions and use the recommended file gauge. A damaged or badly sharpened chain increases the risk of accidents.

Maintain the correct depth gauge setting! Follow our instructions and use the recommended depth gauge clearance. Too large a clearance increases the risk of kickback.

Keep the chain properly tensioned! If the chain is slack it is more likely to jump off and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket.

Keep cutting equipment well lubricated and properly maintained! A poorly lubricated chain is more likely to break and lead to increased wear on the bar, chain and drive sprocket.

WARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or

the wrong combination of bar and saw

 

chain increases the risk of kickback!

 

Only use the bar/saw chain combinations

 

we recommend, and follow the filing

 

instructions. See instructions under the

 

heading Technical data.

The only way to avoid kickback is to make sure that the kickback zone of the bar never touches anything.

By using cutting equipment with ”built-in” kickback reduction and keeping the chain sharp and well- maintained you can reduce the effects of kickback.

Bar

The smaller the tip radius the lower the chance of kickback.

Chain

A chain is made up of a number of links, which are available in standard and low-kickback versions.

IMPORTANT! No saw chain design eliminates the danger of kickback.

WARNING! Any contact with a rotating

 

saw chain can cause extremely serious

 

 

injuries.
