ward you or pull you off balance.
13. When cutting a limb that is under tension, be
alert for spring back so that you will not be
struck when the tension in the wood fibres is
released.
14. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or
fuel mixture.
15. Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated
areas.
16. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless
you have been specifically trained to do so.
17. All chain saw service, other than the items
listed in the user manual safety and mainte-
nance instructions, should be performed by
competent chain saw SPARKY service per-
sonnel.
18. When transporting your chain saw, use the
appropriate guide bar scabbard.
19. Do not operate your chain saw near or around
flammable liquids or gases whether in or out
of doors. An explosion and/or fire may result.
20. Do not tank fuel, oil or lubrication when the
engine of chain saw is running.
21. Underage individuals are not allowed to oper-
ate the saw. This prohibition does not concern
persons over 16 years, operating the machine
under supervision of professionals.
22. Prior to performing a cut, check wood for
presence of extraneous objects (wedges,
nails, stones, etc.).
23. Use the right tool: Cut wood only. Do not use
the chain saw for purposes for which it was
not intended. For example, do not use the
chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry, or non-
building materials.
NotE.
This appendix is intended primarily for the
consumer or occasional user. This model is intend
-
ed for infrequent use by homeowners, cottagers,
and campers, and for such general applications
as clearing, pruning, cutting firewood, etc. Despite
the fact that the gas chain saw is equipped with
anti vibration system, the excessively prolonged
continuous operation may cause circulatory prob-
lems in the user’s hands due to vibration.

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. If the bar tip contacts, it may cause a light-
ning-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. 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.
1. With a basic understanding of kickback, you
can reduce or eliminate the element of sur
-
prise. Sudden surprise contributes to acci-
dents.
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 en-
gine 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 cut-
ting 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 main-
tenance instructions for the saw chain.
7. Only use replacement bars and chains speci-
fied by the manufacturer or the equivalent.
NotE.
Low-kickback saw chain is chain that has
met the kickback performance.

WARNING:
Kickback can lead to dan
-
gerous loss of control of the chain saw and re
-
sult in serious or fatal injury to the saw operator
or to anyone standing close by. Always be alert.
Rotational kickback and pinch-kickback are
major chain saw operational dangers and the
leading cause of most accidents.
