Cutting with the Chain Saw

WARNING
Operating a chain saw improperly can cause
serious personal injury or death.
Read and follow all operating instructions
carefully to avoid possible personal injury.
WARNING
Kickback can cause serious or fatal injury to
you.
Always ensure that the chain brake system
is working properly before you operate the
chain saw.
Avoid touching objects to be cut with the
nose of the chain saw guide bar.
There are 2 types of kickback:
•
A fast upward motion of the chain saw that results
when the chain at the nose or top of the bar
contacts an object
•
A fast backward motion of the chain saw that
results when the chain at the nose or top of the bar
is pinched by the object being cut
Figure 10 shows the area of the bar to avoid
contacting an object to prevent kickback.
