KICKBACK

WARNING

: Kickback is the 

backward, upward or sudden 
movement of the guide bar that 
occurs when the guide bar contacts 
an object or when the wood closes in 
and pinches the saw in the cut. The 
saw contacting a foreign object in the 
wood can also result in a loss of 
control.

Rotational kickback 

occurs when 

the moving chain contacts an object 
with the upper tip of the guide bar. 
This can cause the chain to dig into 
the object, which then stops the 
chain for a moment. The result is a 
reverse reaction, which kicks the 
guide bar up and back towards the 
operator. 

Pinch kickback

occurs when the 

woods closes in on the moving chain 
along the top of the guide bar. The 
sudden stop of the chain results in 
the saw to move in the opposite 
direction of the rotation and the saw 
is driven straight back towards the 
operator.

Pull in 

occurs when the moving 

chain comes in contact with a foreign 
object in the wood along the bottom 
of the guide bar. This sudden stop 
pulls the saw forward and away from 
the operator and could possibly 
cause the operator to lose control of 
the saw.

Avoiding Kickback

Be aware of situations or objects that 
can cause the material to pinch the 
top of or stop the chain.

Do not cut more than one log at a 
time.

Do not twist the saw when the bar is 
withdrawn from an undercut.

Always begin cutting with the engine 
at full speed and with the saw 
housing resting against the wood.

Use wedges made of plastic or wood 
to hold the cut open. Never use 
metal.

Stay alert. Realize kickback can 
occur and keep the cutting area free 
from foreign objects.

Keep your chain properly tensioned 
and sharp, along with properly 
maintaining the chainsaw. Failure to 
do so can increase the chance of 
kickback occurring.

Begin and continue the cut with the 
engine running at full speed. Use 
caution while re-entering a previous 
cut. Do not attempt a plunge cut 
(starting a cut with the tip of the 
blade).

Maintaining Control of the 
Chainsaw

Stand to the left of the saw.  Keep 
your elbow locked and a firm grip on 
the saw.

Keep the thumb on the underside of 
the handlebar. Never reverse hand 
positions (left hand on handlebar 
and right hand on the rear handle).

Stand slightly to the left side of the 
saw to keep your body from being in 
a straight line with the saw. Stand 
with your weight evenly balanced 
between both feet.

Do not overreach because you could 
be thrown off balance and lose 
control of the saw. Do not cut above 
shoulder height because it is difficult 
to maintain proper control of the saw 
at that height.

Chain Brake

The chain brake is designed to stop 
the chain from rotating in the event 
of a kickback. 

WARNING: DO NOT RELY UPON 
THE CHAIN BRAKE (OR OTHER 
SAFETY FEATURES) TO 
PROTECT YOU IN THE EVENT OF 
A KICKBACK. Use your chainsaw 
properly and under the correct 
circumstances to avoid kickback. 

ASSEMBLY

Wear protective gloves at all times 
during assembly due to the handling 
of sharp objects.

Attaching the Bumper Spike

The bumper spike may be used as a 
pivot when making a cut.

1) Loosen and remove the bar knob
completely by loosening the two
nuts.

2) Remove the clutch cover.

3) Attach the bumper spike with the
two screws with the spikes pointing
downward.

Attaching the Bar and Chain

1) Make sure the saw bottom is
resting on a flat surface. Be sure the
chain brake is pulled back. (Figure1)

Loosen and remove the bar knob 
completely by removing the two 
nuts. (Figure 2)
