All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.

The chain tension is optimal if the saw chain can be lifted 1/8 inch (3 mm) from the center of the guide bar. Since the saw chain heats up during operation, its length can therefore fluctuate.

This is usually caused by the workpiece coming into contact with the guide bar tip or the clamping of the saw chain. A kickback generates an abrupt powerful force. The saw usually reacts in an uncontrolled manner, creating the pos- sibility of injury to the user.
