• Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut. • Use low-kickback chain and guide bar supplied with this chain saw. Only replace these parts with chains and guide bars listed in this manual. • Never use dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp and tensioned correctly. Saw Maintenance and Kickback Safety Follow maintenance instructions in this manual. Proper cleaning of saw along with chain and guide bar maintainance can reduce chances of kickback. Inspect and maintain saw after each use. This will increase the service life of your saw. Note: Even with proper sharpening, risk of kickback can increase with each sharpening. PUSHBACK AND PULL-IN Avoid pushback and pull-in. These hazards can cause you to lose control of chain saw. Pushback or pull-in can cause severe injury. Cause Of Pushback and Pull-In Pushback may occur while cutting with top of guide bar. Pushback will force saw back towards you. Pull-in may occur while cutting with bottom of guide bar. Pull-in will force saw in towards wood you are cutting. These hazards can occur if chain is pinched, caught or contacts a non-wood object. The following steps will reduce the risk of pushback or pull-in. • Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw handles. • Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height. • Keep solid footing and balance. • Stand slightly to left side of saw. This keeps your body from being in direct line with chain. • Have saw running at full speed before starting a cut. • When cutting, make sure spike of saw is against wood (pull-in only). See Product Identification, page 4, to locate spike. • Never try cutting through two logs at same time. Only cut one log at a time. •Watch for shifting of log or other forces that may pinch chain. • Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut. • Do not twist saw when removing guide bar from undercut. • Use wedges made of plastic, wood, or light alloy (never steel or iron) to hold cut open.
