When the bow contacts an object in the danger area, (See Fig. 13) the bow is thrown upward with considerable force. THIS IS KICKBACK! 2. Hold the saw firmly with both hands. 3. Don't overreach. 4. Cut only at high engine speeds. 5. DO NOT REACH ABOVE WAIST HIGH. THE BOW IS TOO CLOSE TO YOUR FACE IN THIS POSITION. 6. Keep your chain sharp. A dull chain kicks back harder than a sharp chain. BE CAREFUL 1. DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT THE SPIKES, GUARD, AND HAND GUARD PROPERLY ATTACHED. 2. Be sure the spikes are in place against the log before beginning the cut. (See Fig. 13) 3. Do not cut small limbs or brush with a bow. 4. Do not under buck with a bow. 5. Keep the chain tight and sharp.
