Kickback is the consequence of incorrect or erratic use of the machine. It can be
prevented by appropriate safety measures such as described below:
•
Hold the saw with both hands, ensuring thumbs and fingers clasp the
handles of the chainsaw. Position your body and arms in such a way that
you can withstand kickback forces.
If appropriate measures are taken, the
operator can control kickback forces. Never let go of the chainsaw.
• Avoid an abnormal body posture and do not saw above shoulder height.
This prevents accidental contact with the tip of the guide bar and it enables
better control of the chainsaw in unexpected situations.
•
Always use replacement guide bars and saw-chains specified by the
manufacturer.
Incorrect replacement guide bars and saw-chains can cause
breaking of the chain and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer‘s instructions concerning sharpening and
maintenance of the saw-chain.
Over-reduction of depth limiters increases
kickback tendency.

• Rotary recoil (Fig. 28)
A = Recoil distance / B = Recoil reaction zone
