Safety instructions
a position that allows you to
withstand the kickback forc-
es. If suitable measures are
taken, the operator will be
able to control the kickback
forces. Never release the
chain saw.
■
Avoid any abnormal pos-
ture, and do not saw any-
thing above shoulder
height. This will avoid inad-
vertent contact with the tip of
the bar, and allow better con-
trol of the chain saw in unex-
pected situations.
■
Always use replacement
bars and saw chains pre-
scribed by the manufactur-
er. Incorrect replacement bars
and saw chains can lead to
the chain breaking and/or to
kickback.
■
Comply with the instruc-
tions of the manufacturer
for sharpening and main-
taining the saw chain. Depth
limiters set too low increase
the tendency to kickback.
