cause serious injury or death to the operator or
others. Do not do operate the product on a
ladder or in a tree.

Kickbacks, skating, bouncing and dropping
Different forces can have an effect on the safe
control of the product.
• Skating is when the guide bar glides or moves
quickly across the wood.
• Bouncing is when the guide bar lifts off the wood
and touches it again and again.
• Dropping is when the product drops down after
the cut is made. This can cause the moving
chain to touch a part of the body or other objects,
causing injury or damage.
• Kickback is when the end of the guide bar
touches objects and moves rearward, up or
suddenly forward. Kickback also occurs when the
wood closes in and pinches the saw chain during
the cut. Loss of control can result if the product
touches an object in wood.
• Rotational Kickback can occur when the
moving chain touches an object at the top of
the guide bar. This can cause the chain to
bury into the object and cause the chain to
stop immediately. The result is a very fast,
reverse reaction that moves the guide bar up
and rearward in the direction of the operator.
