DANGER
Saw chain teeth are very sharp and can
cause severe injuries, even if engine is off
and chain is not moving. Avoid contact with
saw chain. Wear gloves to protect hands.
KICKBACK HAZARDS
Contact between the tip of the guide bar
nose and objects such as tree limbs and
branches can cause Kickback. Kickback is
a sudden, forceful reaction that throws the
guide bar and saw chain up and away from
the point of contact, and in an arc back
toward the operator.
Kickback can also occur when the moving
saw chain gets pinched in the cut, pushing
the unit straight back toward the operator
with a sudden, forceful reaction.
Kickback can result in loss of
balance, loss of unit control, and
serious injury from contact with
moving saw chain, or contact
between the unit and surrounding
hazards.
