• The contact of the tip may in some cases cause a sudden
reverse reaction by bouncing the chain guide up and back
towards the operator.
• Pinching of the cutting chain on the upper part of the chain
guide can force the chain guide to the operator abruptly.
• Either of these reactions can result in loss of control of the saw
likely to result in a serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively
on safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, all
measures should be taken to eliminate the risk of accident or
injury during cutting.
• Bounce results from improper use of the tool and / or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking the appropriate precautions specified below:
• Hold the saw with both hands firmly with the thumbs and
fingers encircling the handles of the saw and place your body
and arms to allow you to withstand the rebound forces. The
rebound forces can be controlled by the operator, if appropriate
precautions are taken. Do not allow chain saw to start.
• Do not stretch the arm too far and do not cut above the shoulder
height. This helps prevent unintentional end contacts and allows
better control of the chain saw in unforeseen situations.
• Use only the manufacturers specified replacement guides and
chains. Incorrect replacement guides and chains may cause
chain breakage and / or rebound.
• Follow manufacturer's instructions for sharpening and servicing
the chain saw. A decrease in the depth gauge level can lead to
an increase in rebounds.
