Tip contact in some cases may cause a sud-
den reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar
up and back towards the operator
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the
guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly
back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to
lose control of the saw which could result in
serious personal injury. Do not rely exclu-
sively upon the safety devices built into your
saw. As a chain saw user, you should take
several steps to keep your cutting jobs free
from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below:
Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs
a)
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 pre-
vent unintended tip contact and enables
better control of the chain saw in unex-
pected situations..
Only use replacement bars and
c)
chains specified by the manufac-
turer. Incorrect replacement bars and
chains may cause chain breakage and/
or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer´s sharpen-
ing and maintenance instructions
for the saw chain. Decreasing the
depth gauge height can lead to in-
creased kickback.
