Personal Protection Equipment - pellenc SELION M12 Operating Instructions Manual

Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the chain guide up and back towards
the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the chain guide may push the chain guide rapidly back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury. Do
not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your chainsaw. As a chainsaw user, there are several steps
you should take to prevent your cutting jobs resulting in accident or injury.
Kick-back results from incorrect use of the chainsaw and/or inappropriate procedures or working conditions. It can
be avoided by taking the correct precautions, as indicated below:
Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers en-
1.
circling the chainsaw handles, with both hands on
the saw and position your body and arms to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Kickback forces can
be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions
are taken. Do not let go of the chainsaw.
2. Do not overreach and do not cut above shoul-
der height. This helps prevent unintended tip con-
tact and enables better control of the chainsaw in
unexpected situations.
3. Only use replacement chain guides and chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replace-
ment chain guides and chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
4. Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and main-
tenance instructions for the saw chain. Decreas-
ing the depth gauge height can lead to increased
kickback.
