WARNING

KICKBACK

DANGER

(Fig.

1)

One

of

the

most

severe

dangers

when

working

with

a

chain

saw

is

the

possibility

of

kickback.

Kickback

may

occur

when

the

upper

tip

of

the

guide

bar

touches

an

object,

or

when

the

wood

closes

in

and

pinches

the

saw

chain

in

the

cut.

Tip

contact

in

some

cases

may

cause

a

lightning

fast

reverse

reaction,

kicking

the

guide

bar

up

and

back

toward

you.

Pinching

the

saw

chain

along

the

top

of

the

guide

bar

may

also

push

the

guide

bar

rapidly

back

towards

you.

Either

of

these

reactions

may

cause

you

to

lose

control

of

the

saw

which

could

result

in

serious

personal

injury.

Even

though

your

saw

has

safety

built

into

its

design,

you

should

not

rely

on

these

safety

features

exclusively.

Know

where

your

bar

tip

is

at

all

times.

Kickback

does

occur

if

you

allow

the

kickback

zone

(1)

of

the

bar

to

touch

an

object.

Do

not

use

that

area.

Kickback

from

pinching

is

caused

by

a

cut

closing

and

pinching

the

upper

side

of

the

guide

bar.

Study

your

cut

and

make

sure

it

will

open

as

you

cut

through.

Maintain

control

when

the

engine

is

running

by

always

keeping

a

fi

rm

grip

on

the

saw

with

your

right

hand

on

the

rear

handle,

your

left

hand

on

the

front

handle

and

your

thumbs

and

fi

ngers

encircling

the

handles.

Always

hold

the

saw

with

both

hands

during

operation

and

cut

at

high

engine

speed.

Follow

manufacturer's

sharpening

and

maintenance

instructions

for

the

saw

chain.

The

lack

of

this

maintenance

may

increase

the

possibility

of

kickback.
