Kickback
Kickback is a phenomenon whereby the tip of the saw flies quickly and uncontrollably
upwards towards the operator. It happens with little or no warning and can be caused by
cutting with the blade tip, if the saw gets pinched in it’s cut, or if the saw contacts debris.
The risk of kickback can never be completely eliminated but it can be reduced by:
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
● The chain is automatically lubricated.
● Use only new chain oil specifically formulated for chainsaws.
Never use wasted oil, low quality oil, or insufficient oil. This could damage the pump;
the bar and the chain may result in serious personal injury
● Check oil level before each work session, refill if less than ¼ full.
● If the lubrication system does not work properly, check if the oil filter and all oil-ways are
clean and free from obstructions. If it is still not working, contact an authorised service
centre.
● Ensuring the work area is free of debris.
● Not allowing the chain to get pinched.
● Not cutting with the danger area at the tip of the saw .see illustration below.

SAFETY CHAIN BRAKE
DESCRIPTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS (Fig.2)
In the event of a kickback occurring, the left hand should come into contact with the chain
brake stopping the chain immediately by moving it to position ‘0’. See fig 1.
The operation of the chain brake must be checked prior to each use.
To reset the chain brake disconnect from the mains and snap it backwards (towards the
operator) into position ‘1’. See fig 1.
Re-check the chain tension before re-starting.
