POTENTIAL DANGERS
17
Pinch Kickback
1. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar
may push the saw back at you.
2. If the bar is pushed back far enough so that the
kickback zone hits an object, a rotational kickback
may develop.
Direction of Kickback
A kickback always travels in the plane of the bar.
Depending on how you hold the chain saw, a kickback
may come up and back at you, or move in any angle you
happened to hold the chain saw in. For example, if you
experience a kickback during felling, the chain saw will
move in the horizontal plane and can swing around and
hit your leg.
IMPORTANT
•
Kickback can only occur if the kickback danger
zone of the bar touches an object.
•
A kickback can be lightning fast.
•
Although most kickbacks are small, sometimes a
kickback can be very violent.
