7. When you put the chain saw on the ground, lock the saw chain using the chain brake and
ensure you have a constant view of the machine. Switch the engine off before leaving your
chain saw for any length of time.
General rules
1. If you understand what kickback is and how it happens then you can reduce or eliminate
the element of shock. By being prepared you can reduce the risk. Kickback is usually quite
mild, but it can sometimes be very sudden and violent.
2. Always hold the chain saw firmly with your right hand on the
rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Wrap
your fingers and thumbs around the handles. You should
use this grip whether you are right-handed or left-handed.
This grip minimizes the effect of kickback and lets you keep
the chainsaw under control. Do not let go of the handles!
3. Most kickback accidents happen during limbing. Make sure
you are standing firm and that there is nothing in the way
that might make you trip or lose your balance. Lack of
concentration can lead to kickback if the kickback zone of
the bar accidentally touches a branch, nearby tree or some
other object.
Have control over the work piece. If the pieces you intend to
cut are small and light, they can jam in the saw chain and be
thrown towards you. Even if this does not need to be a
danger, you may be surprised and lose control of the saw.
Never saw stacked logs or branches without first separating
them. Only saw one log or one piece at a time. Remove the
cut pieces to keep your working area safe.
4.
Never use the chain saw above shoulder height and try not
to cut with the tip of the bar. Never use the chain saw one-
handed!
5.
You must have a steady stance in order to have full control
over the chainsaw. Never work standing on a ladder, in a
tree or where you do not have firm ground to stand on.
6.
Always use a fast cutting speed.
Take great care when you cut with the top edge of the bar,
i.e. when cutting from the underside of the object. This is
known as cutting on the push stroke. The chain tries to push
the chain saw back towards the user.
