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. (see pic 1. b ).
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. (see pic 1/. a).
Either of these reactions may cause you
to lose control of the
sult 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 tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:
a) Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs
and fingers encircling 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
b) 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
150
saw which could re-
situations..
Only use replacement bars and
c)
chains specified by the manufac-
turer. Incorrect replacement bars and
chains may cause chain breakage
and/or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer´s sharpen-
ing and maintenance instructions
for the saw chain. Decreasing the
depth gauge height can lead to in-
creased kickback.
9) SPECIAL SAFETY DIRECTIONS
FOR BATTERYOPERATED TOOLS
• Ensure that the device is switched
off before inserting the battery. In-
serting a battery into a power tool
that is switched on may result in
accidents.
• Recharge the batteries indoors
only because the battery charger is
designed for indoor use only. Risk
of electric shock.
• To reduce the electric shock hazard,
unplug the battery charger from the
mains before cleaning the charger.
• Do not subject the battery to
strongsunlight over long periods
and do not leave it on a heater.
Heat damages the battery and there
is a risk of explosion.
• Allow a hot battery to cool before
charging.
• Do not open up the battery and
avoid mechanical damage to the
battery. Risk of short circuit and
fumes may be emitted that irritate
the respiratory tract. Ensure fresh
air and seek medical assistance in
the event of discomfort.
• Do not use non-rechargeable bat-
teries. This could damage the appli-
ance.
