• Each of these reactions can lead
to you losing control of the saw
and potentially being seriously
injured. Do not rely exclusively on
the safety devices built into the
chainsaw. As user of the chain-
saw, you should undertake various
measures to enable accident- and
injury-free working.
A kickback is caused by wrongly
or incorrectly operating the electric
tool. It can be avoided by suitable
cautionary measures, such as de-
scribed below:
• Hold the saw firmly with
both hands with thumbs
and fingers surrounding
the chainsaw handles. Pla-
ce your body and arms in
a position where you can
withstand the kickback
forces. The user will be capab-
le of withstanding the kickback
forces if suitable measures are
undertaken. Never let go of the
chainsaw.
• Avoid an abnormal body
posture. This will enable better
control over the chainsaw in un-
foreseen situations.
• Always use the replace-
ment rails and saw chains
specified by the manufac
-
turer. Incorrect replacement
rails and saw chains can cause
the chain to break apart and/or
may lead to kickback.
• Comply with the manu-
facturer’s instructions for
sharpening and main-
taining the saw chain.
Depth limiters placed too low
increase the potential for kick-
backs.
• Do not saw with the tip of
the blade bar (see Fig. b).
There is a risk of kickback.
• Ensure there are no ob-
jects on the ground which
could cause you to stumb-
le.
