Spiked bumper
The integral bumper spike may be used as a pivot when making a cut.
It helps to keep the body of the chainsaw steady while cutting. When
cutting, push the machine forward until the spikes dig into the edge
of the wood, then move the rear handle up or down in the direction of
the cutting line to help ease the physical strain of cutting.
Guide bars
Generally, guide bars with small radius tips have a somewhat lower
potential for kickback. Use a guide bar and matching chain that is just
long enough for the job. Longer bars increase the risk of loss of control
during sawing. Regularly check the chain tension. When cutting
smaller branches (less than the full length of the guide bar), the chain
is more likely to be thrown off if the tension is not correct.
Chain brake
Chain brakes are designed to quickly stop the chain from rotating.
When the chain brake lever is pushed towards the bar, the chain
should stop immediately. A chain brake does not prevent kickback.
It only lowers the risk of injury should the chain bar contact the
operator's body during a kickback event. The chain brake should be
tested before each use for correct operation in both the run and brake
positions.
WARNING! If the chain brake does not stop the chain
immediately, or if the chain brake does not stay in the run
position without assistance, take the product to an authorised
service centre for repair prior to use.
