RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
A. Kickback Safety Precautions for Chain Saw Users
1. With a basic understanding of
kickback, you can reduce or eliminate
the element of surprise.
Sudden surprise contributes to
accidents.
2. Keep a good firm grip on the saw with
both hands, the right hand on the rear
handle, and the left hand on the front
handle, when the engine is running.
Use a firm grip with thumbs and
fingers encircling the chain saw
handles.
A firm grip will help you reduce
kickback and maintain control of the
saw.
Don’t let go.
3. Make sure that the area in which you
are cutting is free from obstructions.
Do not let the nose of the guide bar
contact a log, branch, or any other
obstruction which could be hit while
you are operating the saw.
4. Cut at high engine speeds.
5. Do not overreach or cut above
shoulder height.
6. Follow manufacturer’s sharpening
and maintenance instructions for the
saw chain.
7. Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the manufacturer
or the equivalent.
WARNING!
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
lightning fast reverse REACTION,
Kicking the guide bar up and back towards
the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the
guide bar may push the guide bar
rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to
lose control of the saw which could result in
serious personal injury.
The Kick Guard
TM
device is not installed
on the guide bar when you purchase your
ECHO chain saw.
The Kick Guard can be used in a majority of
cutting operations, and is especially
recommended for beginners,
homeowners, or chain saw novices.
Most cutting operations can be
accomplished with the Kick Guard in place.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety de-
vices built into your saw.
As a chain saw user, you should take
several steps to keep your cutting jobs free
from accident or injury.
