and with large force, which throws the product in the
direction of the operator.
Kickback always occurs in the cutting plane of the guide
bar. Usually, the product is thrown against the operator
but can also move in a different direction. It is how you
use the product when the kickback occurs that causes

Use a low kickback saw chain to decrease the effects of
