steps to keep your cutting jobs
free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool
misuse and/or incorrect operat-
ing procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
a. Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs
and fingers encircling the chain
saw handles, with both hands on
the saw and position your body
and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces
can be controlled by the operator,
if proper precautions are taken. Do
not let go of the chain saw.
b. Do not overreach and do not cut
above shoulder height. This helps
prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chain
saw in unexpected situations.
c. Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the manufac-
turer. Incorrect replacement bars
and chains may cause chain break-
age and/or kickback.
d. Follow the manufacturer's sharp-
ening and maintenance instruc-
tions for the saw chain. Decreas-
ing the depth gauge height can
lead to increased kickback.
