Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.

Protective gloves available from professional chainsaw
retailers are designed specifically for chainsaw use ,
which give protection, good grip, and reduce the effect
of handle vibration.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your physician.

SAFETY DEVICES
Low kick-back saw chain
A low-kick-back saw chain helps to reduce the possibility
of a kickback event.
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter can
minimize the force of a kick-back reaction by preventing the
cutters from digging in too deeply. Only use replacement
guide bar and chain combinations recommended by the
manufacturer.
As saw chains are sharpened, they lose some of the low
kickback qualities and extra caution is required. For your
safety, replace saw chains when cutting performance
decreases.
Spiked bumper
The integral bumper spike may be used as a pivot when
making a cut. It helps to keep the body of the chainsaw
steady while cutting. When cutting, push the product
forward until the spikes dig into the edge of the wood, then
by moving the rear handle up or down in the direction of the
cutting line it can help ease the physical strain of cutting
Guide bars
Generally, guide bars with small radius tips have somewhat
lower potential for kick-back. Use a guide bar and matching
chain that is just long enough for the job. Longer bars
increase the risk of loss of control during sawing. Regularly
check the chain tension. When cutting smaller branches
(less than the full length of the guide bar), the chain is more
likely to be thrown off if the tension is not correct.
Chain brake
Chain brakes are designed to quickly stop the chain
rotating. When the chain brake lever/hand guard is pushed
towards the bar, the chain should stop immediately. A
chain brake does not prevent kick-back. It only lowers the
risk of injury should the chain bar contact the operator’s
body during a kick-back event. The chain brake should be
tested before each use for correct operation in both the run
and brake positions.
WARNING
If the chain brake does not stop the chain immediately,
or if the chain brake will not stay in the run position
without assistance, take the product to an authorised
service centre for repair prior to use.
Chain catcher
A chain catcher prevents the saw chain from being thrown
back towards to the operator if the saw chain comes loose
or breaks.
