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:
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 kick-
back 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 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.
