ENGLISH
Kickback may occur when the moving saw
chain at 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. In some cases this may cause a light-
ning-fast reverse action, kicking the guide
bar and saw chain up and back or down
and back towards the operator. Either of
these reactions may cause the operator to
lose control of the Power Pruner
TM
which
could result in serious personal injury.
With a basic understanding of kickback,
you can reduce or eliminate the element of
surprise which contributes to accidents.
Avoid contact of the guide bar tip with any object while the saw chain is mov-
ing.
Cut only wood. Avoid striking concrete, metal, wire, or other obstructions
which could cause kickback or damage to the saw chain.
If the saw chain does strike a foreign object, immediately stop the engine,
inspect and repair the Power Pruner
TM
if necessary.
