FOR YOUR SAFETY
Danger because of kickback!
Kickback can lead to deadly cutting injury!
If a kickback happens the saw suddenly can sling towards the user, e.g.
if the chain hits unintentionally wood or a hard object in the area around the upper quarter of
the bar nose.
if the chain on the bar nose gets stuck in the cut.
Reducing danger of kickback
Hold the saw tightly with both hands and sure grip
Do only cut with full power
Do always watch the bar nose
Do not cut with the bar nose
Do not bend forward so far
Do not cut above shoulder level
Do only put the bar very carefully in the cut
Do only „plunge“ if you are familiar with that working procedure
Pay attention to the position of the trunk and to the forces which close the cutting slot and
can jum the chain
Do only work with a right sharpened and tensioned chain. The clearance of the depth limiter
should not be too large.
