Kickback Safety Instructions Cont’d.
– Watch out for shifting objects (logs, branches, etc.)
that might pinch or fall onto the saw chain during
operation.
– Only use wedges made of wood or plastic. Do not use
metal to hold a cut open.
– Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
– Only use replacement bars and chains specified
by the manufacturer or the equivalent. These are
available from Champion or other qualified service
dealer. Use of any unauthorized parts or accessories
could lead to serious injury to the operator or damage
to the unit and will void the warranty.
– Use devices that reduce the risks associated with
kickback,such as low-kickback chains, guide bar
nose guards, chain brakes and low-kickback guide
bars. There are no other replacement components
for achieving kickback protection in accordance with
CSA Z62.3.
– A low-kickback saw chain is a chain that has met the
kickback performance requirements of ANSI/OPEI
B175.1-2012 when tested according to the provisions
specified in ANSI/OPEIB175.1-2012. A low-kickback
saw chain is a chain that is also in accordance with
CSA Z62.3. Do not use a replacement saw chain
unless it has met these requirements for this specific
model or has been designated as a low-kickback
replacement saw chain in accordance with ANSI/
OPEI B175.1-2012. As saw chains are sharpened,
some of the low-kickback qualities are lost and extra
caution should be used.
– Do not install a bow guide on this unit. Bow guides
have larger kickback zones, which increase the
chance of kickback and serious injury. This increase
is not significantly reduced by using a low-kickback
saw chain. Using a bow guide on this unit is
extremely dangerous.
– Secure the unit while transporting.
– Always use the scabbard on the guide bar and saw
chain during transportation and storage.
– Always store the unit and fuel in a cool, dry and
well-ventilated space. Do not store fuel, or a unit
with fuel in the tank, indoors where fumes may reach
open flames (pilot lights, etc.) or sparks(switches,
electrical motors, etc.).
– Store the unit in a dry place, secured or at a height
to prevent unauthorized use or damage. Keep the
unit out of the reach of children.
– Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other
liquid. Keep handles dry, clean and free from debris,
oil, fuel and grease. Clean the unit after each use.
Refer to Cleaning and Storage. Do not use solvents or
strong detergents.
–
Keep these instructions.
