KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Tip contact in some cases may cause a Iightning-fast
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back
toward the operator (this is called a rotational kickback).
2. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar
may push the guide bar rapidly back toward the operator
(this is called a linear kickback).
4.
3. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control
of the saw and come in contact with the moving chain,
which could result in serious personal injury.
4. With a basic understanding of kickback, you can redu-
ce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise
contributes to accidents. Understand that rotational
kickback is preventable by keeping an unshielded bar
nose from touching an object or the ground.
