WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, read 

and follow all safety instructions 

provided  with  this  accessory  and  your  chain 

saw. Kickback can occur with any saw chain. 

Guard  against  kickback,  which  may  result  in 

severe injury, by using your chain saw safely at 

all times. Always wear proper PPE. 

READ AND SAVE THESE 

INSTRUCTIONS

• Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tension-

ing and changing the bar and chain.

  Improperly 

tensioned  or  lubricated  chain  may  either  break  or 

increase the chance for kickback. 

• Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes 

not intended. For example: do not use chain saw for 

cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood build-

ing materials.

-

ent than intended could result in a hazardous situation.

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, 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. 

Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into 

your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several 

steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

Kickback is the result of chain saw misuse and/or in-

correct operating procedures or conditions and can be 

avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

• 

-

circling the chain saw handles, with both hands on 

the saw and position your body and arm to allow 

you to resist kickback forces.

 Kickback forces can 

be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are 

taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.

• Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder 

height.

 This helps prevent unintended tip contact and 

enables better control of the chain saw in unexpected 

situations.

• Only  use  replacement  guide  bars  and  chains 

Incorrect replacement 

guide bars and chains may cause chain breakage and/

or kickback.

• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and main-

tenance instructions for the saw chain.

 Decreasing 

the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

• Always be aware of what you are doing when using 

the chain saw. Use common sense. 

Do not operate 

the  chain  saw  when  you  are  tired,  ill,  or  under  the 

• Keep all parts of your body away from the saw 

chain when the unit is running.

• Maintain the unit with care. 

Keep the cutting edge 

sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce 

the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and 

changing accessories.

• Save these instructions.

 Refer to them frequently 

and  use  them  to  instruct  others  who  may  use  this 

product. If you loan someone this product, loan them 

these instructions also.

• Always use common sense and be cautious when 

using tools.

tion that could result in a dangerous outcome. Do not

• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and main-

tenance instructions for the saw chain. 

Decreasing 

the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.

REPLACING/ADJUSTING THE 

SAW CHAIN AND BAR

WARNING

Always remove battery pack before 

changing or removing accessories.

CAUTION

Chain is sharp. Always wear protec

-

tive gloves when handling the chain. 

As saw chains are sharpened during their useful life, 

they lose some of the low kickback qualities and extra 

caution should be used.

1. Remove the battery pack.                                                  

2. 

3. Remove the drive cover by removing the guide bar 

nuts using the adjustment tool.   

  

Use Low Kickback Saw Chains

 - The rakers 

(depth gauges) ahead of each cutter can minimise 

the force of a kickback reaction by preventing the 

cutters from digging in too deeply at the kickback 

zone. Only use replacement chain that is equivalent 

to original chain or has been certified as low 

kickback chain.
