Keep the handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Fatty,
oily handles are slippery and may lead to a loss of control.
– Use the chainsaw for cutting wood only! Do not use the chain-
saw for works it is not designed for. – Example: Do not use the
chainsaw for cutting plastics, brickwork or other construction
materials that are not made of wood. The use of the chainsaw for
applications, for which it is not designed, may result in dangerous
situations.
Causes of kickbacks and how to avoid
them:
A kickback can occur if the tip of the guide bar touches an object or the
wood to be cut pinches the bar inside the cut.
In some cases, touching an object with the tip of the bar may lead to an
unexpected, sudden backward movement, in the course of which the
guide bar is ‘kicked’ upwards and in the direction of the operator.
The pinching of the chain at the upper edge of the guide bar may fierce-
ly throw the bar back in the direction of the operator.
In both cases, you may loose the control over the saw and get seriously
hurt. Do not exclusively rely on the chainsaw’s built-in safety features.
As a user of a chainsaw you should take several precautions to continu-
ously work without having accidents or suffering injuries.
A kickback is the result of a wrong or improper use of the power tool. It
may be avoided by taking the following proper precautions:
– Hold the saw with both hands with the thumbs and fingers
firmly embracing the handles of the chainsaw. Position your
body and arms such that you can withstand the power of a kick-
back.
When proper precautions are taken the operator will be able
to control the power of a kickback. Never let go of the chainsaw!
– Avoid unusual postures and do not cut above shoulder height.
This avoids accidentally touching objects with the tip of the bar
and allows for a better control of the chainsaw in unexpected situ-
ations.
– Only use the replacement bars and chains prescribed by the
manufacturer.
The use of wrong replacement bars and chains
may lead to chain breaks or kickbacks.
– Adhere to the manufacturer’s instructions to sharpen and
maintain the chain. Depth limiters that are too low increase the
risk of a kickback.
