Pruning
1. Kickback is the sudden backward/upward motion of the product, occurring
when the chain (at the tip of the chain bar) comes in contact with a log or
wood, or when the chain becomes jammed.
2. When kickback occurs the product reacts unpredictably and can cause
severe injuries to the operator or bystanders.
3. With a basic understanding of ‘kickback’, the element of surprise can
be reduced or eliminated. Sudden surprise contributes to the majority of
accidents.
4. You should read all the safety warnings and user instructions carefully
before attempting to operate this product.
To avoid kickback:
• Never work with a loose, widely stretched or heavily worn chain.
• Always use a low kickback chain.
• Ensure correct chain tension.
• Ensure the chain is sharpened correctly.
• Never work with the tip of the guide bar.
• Saw with the guide bar at a flat angle.
• Always hold the product firmly with both hands.
Pruning
1. Make sure that the guide bar cover (18) is removed, and the battery pack (32)
is assembled before operation.
2. Adjust the product to a suitable pole length.
3. Always hold the product firmly with both hands on soft grip (7a) and rear
handle (1). Never operate this product using only one hand (Fig. 33).
4. Maintain a firm grip with your thumbs and fingers encircling the handles. A
firm grip will help you reduce ‘kickback’ and maintain control of the product.
5. Always hold the product at an angle of not more than 60° from the horizontal
level. Otherwise safe operation is not possible (Fig. 34).
WARNING!
Beware of kickback! Kickback can lead to dangerous
loss of control of the product and result in serious or fatal injury to
the operator or anyone standing close by! Always be alert because
rotational kickback and pinch kickback are major product operational
dangers and the leading cause of most accidents!
