Following the rules listed below will help to avoid
kickback:
•
Use proper working techniques.
•
Do not use the kickback danger zone of the bar.
•
Use proper grip.
•
Avoid unsafe and off-balance working positions.
•
Cut at high speed.
•

Be alert.
Proper Working Technique
The only sure way to avoid kickback and other
dangers associated with chain saws is through
proper working technique.
Avoid These Situations
Do not use the kickback danger zone when cutting. As
kickback can only occur when the kickback danger
zone on the tip of the bar touches an object, kick-
back can be completely avoided by not cutting with
that part. Make sure that the area in which you are
working is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of
the guide bar inadvertently contact a log, branch, or
other obstruction which could be hit while you are
operating the saw.
