WARNING
KICKBACK DANGER (Fig. 1)
One of the most severe dangers when working with a chain saw is
the possibility of kickback. Kickback may occur when the upper tip
of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may
cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and
back toward you. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide
bar may also push the guide bar rapidly back towards you. Either of
these reactions may cause you to lose control of the chain saw which
could result in serious personal injury. Even though your chain saw
has safety built into its design, you should not rely on these safety
features exclusively. Know where your guide bar tip is at all times.
Kickback does occur if you allow the kickback zone (1) of the guide
bar to touch an object. Do not use that area. Kickback from pinching
is caused by a cut closing and pinching the upper side of the guide
bar. Study your cut and make sure it will open as you cut through.
Maintain control when the engine is running by always keeping a fi rm
grip on the chain saw with your right hand on the rear handle, your
left hand on the front handle and your thumbs and fi ngers encircling
the handles. Always hold the chain saw with both hands during
operation and cut at high engine speed.
Follow manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions
for the saw chain. The lack of this maintenance may increase the
possibility of kickback.
