6. When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert
for spring back.
When the tension in the wood fi
-
bers is released the spring loaded limb may strike the
operator and/or throw the chain saw out of control.
7. Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings.
The slender material may catch the saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off bal-
ance.
8. Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the
chain saw switched off and away from your body.
When on transporting or storing the chain saw
always fits the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of
the chain saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental
contact with the moving saw chain.
9. Follow instructions for lubricating, chain ten-
sioning and changing accessories.
Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break or
increase the chance for kickback.
10. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and
grease.
Greasy, oily handles are slippery causing
loss of control.
11. Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purpos-
es not intended. For example: do not use chain
saw for cutting plastic, masonry or non-wood
building materials.
Use of the chain saw for opera-
tions different than intended could result in a hazard-
ous situation.
12. Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide
bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in
and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in
some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction,
