GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK force used to cut wood and causes the saw to move in the opposite direction of the chain rotation. Pinch-Kickback drives the saw straight back toward the operator. PullIn pulls the saw away from the operator. A WARNING: Rotational Kickback can occur when the moving chain contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar. Contact at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into the object, which stops the chain for an instant The result is a lightnin fast, reverse reaction which kicks the gui 8 e bar up and back toward the operator.

MAINTAIN CONTROL Stand to the left of the saw Never reverse hand positions . l l l l A good, firm grip on the saw with both hands will help you maintain control. Don’t let go. Grip the rear handle with your right hand whether you are right or left handed. Keep the fingers of your left hand around, and your left thumb under the front handlebar. Keep your left arm straight with the elbow locked. Position your left hand on the front handlebar so it is in a straight line with your right hand on the rear handle when making bucking cuts. Stand slightly to the left side of the saw to keep your body from being in a direct line with the cutting chain. Stand with your weight evenly balanced on both feet Do not overreach. You could be drawn or thrown off balance and lose control. Do not cut above shoulder height- It is difficult to maintain control of saw above shoulder height. l Large Radius lip Low-Kickback Chain, has met kickback erformance requirements when test J on a representative sample of chain saws below 3.8 cubic inch displacement specified in ANSI 8175.1.

When purchasing replacement bar and chain, considerations should be given to the lower CKAvalues. Lower CKA values represent safer angles to the user, higher values indicate more angle and higher kick energies. Computed angles represented in the non-activated column indicate total energy and angle associated without activation of the chain brake during kickback. Activated angle represents chain stopping time reiative to activation angle of chain brake and resulting kick angle of saw. CHAIN BRAKE & CKA ANGLE A WARNING: me effectiveness of a chain brake in reducing operator injuries has not yet been fully determined. We cannot represent that a chain brake is an effective safe device to prevent or reduce the hazard o‘y injuries resulting from kickback. DO NOT ASSUME THAT THE CHAIN BRAKE WILL PROTECT YOU IN THE EVENT OF A KICKBACK. instead, use the saw properly and carefully to avoid kickback. Reduced-Kickback bars and LowKickback chains reduce the hazard of kickback and are recommended. Repairs on a chain brake should be made by an Authorized Service Dealer. The following guide bar and chain combinations meet kickback requirements of CSA 262.1, 262.3, & ANSI 8175.1 Use of bar and chain combinations other than those listed is not recommended and may not meet the CKA requirements per standard.

Slender material may catch the saw chain mhipped toward you or pull you off balance. Be alert for springback. Watch out for branchesthatare bentor under pressure. Avoid being struck by the branch or the saw when the tension in thewood fibers is released. Frequently clear branches out of the way to avoid tripping over them. LIMBING Always limb a tree after it is cut down. Only then can iimbing be done safely and properly. Leave the larger limbs underneath the felled tree to support the tree as you work. Start at base of the felled tree and work toward the top, cutting branches and limbs. Remove small limbs with one cut. Keep the tree between you and the chain as much as possible. Remove larger, supporting branches with the l/3,2/3 cutting techniques described in the bucking section. Always use an overcut to cut small and freely hanging limbs. Undercutting could cause limbs to fall and pinch saw. SCHEDULE AIR FILTER CAUTION: Do not clean filter in gasoline or other flammable solvent to avoid creating a fire hazard or producing harmful evaporative emissions. A dirty air filter decreases engine perfonnante and increases fuel consumption and harmful emissions. Always clean after every 5 hours of operation. Cleaning the air filter: Clean the cover and the area around it to keep dirt and sawdust from falling intothe carburetor chamber when the cover IS re moved. Remove the parts as illustrated. and water. PRUNING A WARNING: Limit pruning to limbs shoulder height or below. Do not cut if branches are higher than your shoulder. Get a professional to do the job. l Make your fist cut l/3 of the way through the bottom of the limb. . Next make a 2nd cut all the way through the limb.
