A running chain can inflict severe and even fatal injury. It is imperative for users to be familiar with the causes of kickbacks in order to exercise the proper care and use working techniques to prevent kickback. CAUTION! Improperly sharpened cutters or the wrong chain and guide bar combination will increase the risk of kickback.
Your chain saw is equipped with a chain brake designed to • The chain brake may be activated manually or by the force stop the chain instantaneously in the event of a kickback. of inertia depending on the strength of the kickback and A chain brake can reduce the risk of accident, but only the the position of the saw in relation to the object which made operator can prevent accidents from happening.

Ensure that the CHAIN CATCHER is undamaged.
E NGL I SH CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR LUBRICATION CAUTION! Inadequate lubrication can lead to cutting equipment failure and serious or fatal personal injury. Chain oil • A full reservoir is sufficient for 20 minutes of steady use. • The chain and bar are lubricated by an automatic oiling system. We recommend using only chain saw oil, which is • If the lubrication system does not seem to be working, and formulated for good adhesion and flow characteristics in hot or cold weather.
