and changing accessories. Incorrectly tensioned or
lubricated chain may either break or increase the
chance for kickback.

intended. For example; do not use the 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.
the chainsaw handles, with both hands on the saw
and position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by
the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let
go of the chainsaw.
• 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 sudden reverse reaction, kicking
the guide bar rapidly back to towards the operator.
• Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control
of the saw which could result in serious personal injury.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into
your saw. As a chainsaw user, you should take several
steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or
injury.
