CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Remove the battery pack from the chain
saw when not charging and before cleaning,
servicing, storing, removing material from the
unit, changing accessories such as the bar and
chain, or when not in use.
Never use water or any liquids to clean or rinse
off your product and do not expose the product
to rain or wet conditions. Store indoors in a dry
area. Corrosive liquids, water, and chemicals
can enter the product’s electronic components
and/or battery compartment and damage
electronic components and/or the battery pack,
which can result in a short circuit, increased risk
of fire, and serious personal injury. Remove any
buildup of dirt and debris by wiping the product
clean with a dry cloth occasionally.
KICKBACK
See Figures 1 - 3.
WARNING
Kickback may occur when the moving chain
contacts an object at the upper portion of the
tip of the guide bar or when the wood closes in
and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contact
at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar
can cause the chain to dig into the object and
stop the chain for an instant. The result is a
lightning fast, reverse reaction which kicks the
guide bar up and back toward the operator. If
the saw chain is pinched along the top of the
guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly
back toward the operator. Either of these reac-
tions can cause loss of saw control which can
result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a
chain saw user, you should take several steps
to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or
injury.
