the guide bar contacts any object such as a log or branch, or when
the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
• Kickback, Pinch - The rapid pushback of the saw which can
occur when the wood closes in and pinches the moving saw chain
in the cut along the top of the guide bar.
• Kickback, Rotational - The rapid upward and backward motion
of the saw which can occur when the moving saw chain near the
upper portion of the tip of the guide bar contacts an object, such as
a log or branch.
• Low-Kickback Chain - A chain that complies with the kickback
performance requirements of ANSI B175.1-1991 (when tested on a
representative sample of chain saws.)
• Normal Cutting Position - Those positions assumed in
performing the bucking and felling cuts.
• Reduced Kickback Guide Bar - A guide bar which has been
demonstrated to reduce kickback significantly.
• Replacement Saw Chain - A chain that complies with kickback
performance requirements of ANSI B175.1-1991 when tested
with specific chain saws. It may not meet the ANSI performance
requirements when used with other saws.
• Saw Chain - A loop of chain having cutting teeth, that cut the
wood and that is driven by the motor and is supported by the guide
bar.
• Switch - A device that when operated will complete or interrupt an
electrical power circuit to the motor of the chain saw.
• Switch Linkage - The mechanism that transmits motion from a
trigger to the switch.
