The chain is stopped, causing a rotational force in the opposite direction flinging the bar in an uncontrolled arc towards the operator, who may suffer severe or fatal injury. lit most frequently occurs during limbing. It also occurs when the tip of the gUide bar is pinched unexpectedly, unintentionally contacts solid material or is incorrectly used to begin a plunge or boring cut. The best protection from personal injury that may result from kickback is to avoid kickback situations: 1. Be aware of the location of tRe guide bar nose during any cut. 2. Be alert for shifting of log or other forces that may cause the cut to close. 3. Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut. 4. Do not attempt plunge cuts or bore cuts if you are not experienced with these cutting techniques. 5. Never bring the tip of the bar in contact with any object. 6. Cut only one log at a time. 7. Begin cutting at full throttle. 8. Maintain saw chain properly. Cut with a correctly sharpened properly tensioned chain at all times. 9
