you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon
the safety devices built into your saw. As a product user, you should take several steps to keep your
cutting jobs free from accident or injury. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
- Maintain a fi rm grip, with thumbs and fi ngers encircling the product handles, with both hands on
the saw and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go of the product.
- Do not overreach. This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables better control of the
product in unexpected situations.
- Only use replacement bars and chains specifi ed by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and
chains may cause chain breakage and/ or kickback.
- Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth gauge
height can lead to increased kickback.
