Cutting with the Chain Saw
WARNING
Operating a chain saw improperly can cause serious
person injury or death.
Read and follow all operating instructions carefully
to help avoid possible personal injury.
WARNING
Kickback can cause serious or fatal injury to you.
Always ensure that the chain brake system is
working properly before you operate the chain saw.
Avoid touching objects to be cut with the tip of the
chain saw.
There are 2 types of kickback:
•
A fast upward motion of the chain saw that results when
the chain at the nose or top of the bar contacts an object
•
A fast backward motion of the chain saw that results
when the chain at the nose or top of the bar is pinched by
the object being cut
Figure 10 shows the area of the bar to avoid contacting an
object to prevent kickback.

Note:
