Warning: RED Used to warn that an unsafe procedure should not be performed.
WARNING
1. Avoid bar nose contact
2. Beware of kick back.
3. Do not attempt to hold saw with one hand
4. Hold saw properly with both hands.
DANGER! BEWARE OF KICKBACK!
Kickback may occur when the nose or 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 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.
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:
BEWARE OF: ROTATIONAL KICKBACK (Fig. 2A)
A = Kickback path
B = Kickback reaction zone
THE PUSH (PINCH KICKBACK) AND PULL REACTIONS (Fig. 2B)
A = Pull
B = Solid objects
C = Push
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 kickback forces.
Kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let go
