■ Maintain power tools carefully. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
■ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
■ Therefore, have the appliance checked by quali-
fied specialists. Use only the replacement parts
recommended by the manufacturer.
Precautions against kickback
CAUTION! KICKBACK!
► Be aware of the danger of kickback when
working with the appliance. There is a risk
of personal injury.
You can avoid kickbacks by being careful
and using the correct sawing technique.
■ Contact with the tip of the rail can in some
cases lead to an unexpected backward reac-
tion resulting in the blade flying upwards
towards the operator (see Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
■ Kickbacks can occur if the tip of the blade
touches an object or if the wood bends and the
saw chain gets caught in the cut (see Fig. 2).

■ If the saw chain jams in the upper edge of
the blade , the blade can kick back violently
towards the operator.
■ Any such reaction can lead to you losing
control over the saw and possibly injuring
yourself. Do not rely solely on the chainsaw's
built-in safety devices. As the user of a chainsaw,
you can take a number of measures to avoid
accidents and injury. A kickback is caused by
incorrect use or misuse of the power tool. It can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below:
■ Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with
your thumb and finger around the handles of
the chainsaw. Hold your body and arms in a
position in which you can withstand kickback
forces.
If suitable measures are taken, the
operator can control the recoil forces. Never
let go of the chainsaw.
■ Avoid an abnormal posture. This will prevent
inadvertent contact with the tip of the rail and
allows a better control of the chainsaw in unex-
pected situations.
■ Always use the replacement rails and saw
chains specified by the manufacturer.
Incor-
rect replacement rails and saw chains can lead
to a tearing of the saw chain and/or kickback.
■ Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
sharpening and maintenance of the saw
chain.
Setting the depth stop too low can
increase the risk of kickback.
■ Do not saw with the tip of the blade.
This can lead to kickback.
■ Ensure that there are no objects on the
ground that you can trip over.
