A kickback notice for the chainsaw user
CAUTION! A kickback may occur if the front of the bar comes into contact with the subject
or if the chain is clamped by material being cut in the section. Upon contacting the subject,
the saw may be flung backward with the bar moving up and back towards the operator.
Clamping the chain inside the section may lead to a fast flyback of the bar towards the
operator. Both of these reactions may result in losing your control over the saw with
subsequent serious injuries. Do not rely just on the saw safety elements. As the saw user, you
should always observe some rules to prevent accidents or damages.
If you are familiar with the kickback principle, you can reduce or eliminate the moment of
being surprised. Abrupt reactions lead to accidents.
When the engine is running, take a firm grip on the saw with both hands holding the rear
handle with your right hand and the front handle with your left hand. Hug the saw handles
firmly with your thumb pressing against other fingers. A firm grip helps to limit the kickback
and keep control over the saw.
The workplace must be free of any obstacles. While operating the saw, the bar loose end
must not brush against branch, trunk or any other obstacle.
Always cut at the engine‘s high speed.
In order to prevent losing your stable position during cutting, always make sure you are not
cutting above the level of your shoulders.
Observe manufacturer instructions for chain lubrication and sharpening.
Use only manufacturer specified spare chains and bars or equivalents.
6. MAINTENANCE
To ensure long and reliable service of your chainsaw, ensure that regular maintenance and
service inspections are made.
Before starting any maintenance or test jobs, always make sure that the engine is turned off.
CAUTION! The saw metal parts remain hot even after turning the engine off.
Please have any repair other than described in the instructions for use made in an authorized
service center.
Transport
Please do not carry the saw unless the engine is turned off and the bar protective guard is
attached.
