Kickback may occur when the moving saw chain at the nose of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. In some cases, this may cause fast reverse action, kicking the unit up and back or down and back towards the operator. The operator can lose control of the device, and that could result in serious personal injury. Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting device. Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when the chain is moving. If the machine strikes or becomes entangled with foreign objects, stop the unit immediately, remove the battery pack and check for damage. Do not operate the unit with loose or damaged parts. When transporting or storing the unit, always fit the transport guard over the cutting chain and bar. Secure the unit during transport to prevent damage or injury.

Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery and can cause the loss of control. [. . . ]
