• Do not overreach and do not cut above
shoulder height.
This helps prevent
unintended tip contact and enables bet-
ter control of the chain saw in unex-
pected situations.
• Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer.
Incor-
rect replacement bars and chains may
cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the
saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased kickback.
