Precautions against spring-
back
 Bewareofspring-back!Becarefulof
spring-backofthemachineduring
work.Thereisdangerofinjuryhere.
Youcanavoidspring-backsbyex-
ercisingcautionandusingacorrect
sawingtechnique.
Spring-backisthedesignationforalight-
ning-fastbackwardsimpulseofthehigh
pruningsawandthechainbarfromthe
sawedobject.Itoccursifthereboundarea

contactwithanobjectorifthewoodjamsthe
highpruningsawduringcutting.
Whenaspring-backoccurs,theuserreceives
astrongbackwardshockfromthehighprun-highprun-
ingsawandthechainbar.Theresultcanbe
thathelosescontrolofthehighpruningsaw
andseriouslyinjures
• Alwaysgripthepowersawrmlywith
bothhands,withtherighthandtothe
rearandwiththelefthandonthefront
