surface. Slippery or unstable surfaces
such as ladders may cause a loss of
balance or control of the chainsaw.

the spring-loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the chainsaw out of
control.
8. Use extreme caution when cutting
brush and saplings. The slender
material may catch the saw chain and
be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
9. Carry the chainsaw by the front
handle with the chainsaw switched
off and away from your body. When
transporting or storing the chainsaw
always apply the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chainsaw will
reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
10. Follow instructions for lubricating,
chain tensioning and changing
accessories. Improperly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
11. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles
are slippery and may cause loss of
control.
12. Cut wood only. Do not use chainsaw
for purposes not intended. For
example: do not use chainsaw for
cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood
building materials. Use of the chainsaw
for operations different than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
13. The use of a residual current device with
a tripping current of 30 mA or less is
recommended.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR PREVENTION
OF KICKBACK
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of
UIFHVJEFCBSUPVDIFTBOPCKFDUPSXIFOUIF
wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in
the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a
sudden 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
