A device worn in front of the eyes and a portion of, or all
of, the face to supplement eye protection. A face shield
alone does not provide adequate protection for your eyes.
Eye protection goggles or glasses meeting ANSI Standard
Z87.1 or CE Standard must be worn underneath the face
mask. See GOGGLES/GLASSES (below).
Equipment or structure used to deliver or provide
protection for the delivery of an essential service such
as electricity.
After the saw completes a cut and is no longer supported
by the wood, the bar and chain can continue on its path
and strike the legs, feet or body of the operator or helper.
A device covering the eyes and sockets, having impact-
resistant lenses. Such goggles/glasses must meet the
ANSI Z87.1 or CE Standard. "Z87" or "CE" is stamped
on approved goggles/glasses.
The railed structure that supports and guides the saw
chain.
These are ear-muff or plug-type devices worn to reduce
exposure to harmful noises while permitting an operator

Is A Non Conductive Insulated Pole Used By Electric
Utilities In Moving Live Downed Power Lines. Cleaning
Material Designed With "Hot Stick" Is Certified For
Cleaning Dielectric Tools.
The restriction of the motion of the saw chain or blade
while the engine is running due to an excessive cutting
load or pinching as the cut closes against the guide bar
and saw chain. This can occur when attempting to cut
branches or stems with an excessive feed rate to the
blades.
This Describes Two Highly Dangerous Reactions
That Can Occur. When Used Alone In This Manual,
The Term "Kickback" Refers To Rotational Kickback.
Kickback Can Occur If The Unshielded Guide Bar Nose
Touches An Object Or The Ground.
• Rotational Kickback– The violent reaction that can
occur when the saw chain at the upper section of
the nose is suddenly stopped or impeded, thereby
dangerously driving the guide bar nose in an upward
arc toward the operator.
• Linear Kickback– A push reaction, which can occur
under certain conditions when the guide bar is buried
in a cut and the cut closes, pinching the saw chain
along the top rails of the guide bar and propelling the
saw straight back toward the operator.
