Other Safety Warnings - Champion 100641 Operator's Manual

100641 - ChAiNSAw
– Only use wedges made of wood or plastic. Do not use metal to
hold a cut open.
– Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
– Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer or the equivalent. These are available from
Champion or other qualified service dealer. Use of any
unauthorized parts or accessories could lead to serious injury
to the operator or damage to the chainsaw and will void the
warranty.
– Use devices that reduce the risks associated with
kickback,such as low-kickback chains, guide bar nose guards,
chain brakes and low-kickback guide bars. There are no other
replacement components for achieving kickback protection in
accordance with CSA Z62.3.
– A low-kickback saw chain is a chain that has met the kickback
performance requirements of ANSI/OPEI B175.1-2012
when tested according to the provisions specified in ANSI/
OPEIB175.1-2012. A low-kickback saw chain is a chain that is
also in accordance with CSA Z62.3. Do not use a replacement
saw chain unless it has met these requirements for this
specific model or has been designated as a low-kickback
replacement saw chain in accordance with ANSI/OPEI B175.1-
2012. As saw chains are sharpened, some of the low-kickback
qualities are lost and extra caution should be used.
– Do not install a bow guide on this chainsaw. Bow guides have
larger kickback zones, which increase the chance of kickback
and serious injury. This increase is not significantly reduced
by using a low-kickback saw chain. Using a bow guide on this
chainsaw is extremely dangerous.
