in loss of control of the machine and severe personal injury.
PULL FORWARD
• When the chain stops abruptly when it is caught in the cutting area by a foreign body in the wood or because it
is not cut properly. The chain, when stopped, pushes the saw forward and, if it is not correctly held against the
branch or tree by the claw, it causes an unexpected pull that can cause loss of control and severe personal injury.
• To avoid this "pull forward", start cutting at full throttle and always keep the machine at full throttle during
cutting and support the saw's claw against the wood to be cut.
REGRESSION
• Backdown can occur if the sword touches an object or when the wood is closed and the chain is stuck in the
cut. The tip contact in some cases can cause an extremely fast reverse reaction, moving the sword upwards and
towards the user. If the chain is locked in a position on the top edge of the sword, it can be pushed towards the
user. In either case, the user may lose control of the machine and be seriously injured.
• Any of these reactions can cause you to lose control of the saw that could result in a serious personal injury.
• These reaction forces are the result of misuse of the tool and/or improper procedures or operating conditions and
can be avoided by taking the appropriate precautions specified below:
-
Hold the saw firmly with both hands and with both thumbs and fingers around the saw handles and
position your body and arms to allow it to withstand unexpected forces.
-
Do not extend your arms too far and do not cut above shoulder height.
-
Always be aware of where the tip of the chain sword is.
-
Make sure that the tip of the sword does not touch anything.
-
Do not cut branches with the tip of the sword.
-
Make sure there are no nails or pieces of metal in the cutting area and pay special attention to nails or
pieces of iron that may be around the cutting area. Also be careful when cutting hardwood where the
chain may become caught and blocked and therefore cause rebound.
-
Start at full throttle and always keep the machine at full throttle during cutting.
- Cut a single branch or piece of wood at a time.
-
Use caution when inserting the saw chain into an already started cut to continue.
-
Do not cut with the chainsaw until you are familiar with the cutting technique.
-
Do not cut into branches or pieces of wood that may change position during cutting.
-
Keep the chain in good condition.
-
Work only if the chain is well sharpened and correctly tensioned.
-
Never stand on the cutting plane of the chainsaw.
-
Use only replacement swords and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrectly replaced swords and
chains can cause a chain break and/or recoil.
-
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for sharpening and maintaining the saw chain.
