operations different than
intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR
PREVENTION OF KICKBACK:
Kickback may occur when
the nose or tip of the guide
bar touches an object, or
when the wood closes in
and pinches the chain saw in
the cut.
Tip contact in some cases
may cause a sudden reverse
reaction, kicking the guide
bar up and back towards the
operator.
Pinching the chain saw along
the top of the guide bar may
push the guide bar rapidly
back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may
cause you to lose control of
the saw which could result
in serious personal injury.
Do not rely exclusively upon
the safety devices built into
your saw. As a chain saw
user, you should take several
steps to keep your cutting
jobs free from accident or
injury.
Kickback is the result of
tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or
conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
■
Do not overreach and do
not cut above shoulder
height. This helps prevent
unintended tip contact
and enables better control
of the chain saw in
unexpected situations.
■
Only use replacement
bars and chains specified
by the manufacturer.
Incorrect replacement bars
and chains may cause
chain breakage and/or
kickback.
■
Follow the manufacturer’s
sharpening and
maintenance instructions
for the chain saw.
Decreasing the depth
gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
