wiring. 

Saw chains contacting a “live” wire may make 

exposed metal parts of the chain saw “live” and could 
give the operator an electric shock.

d)   Wear safety glasses protection. Further protective 

equipment for hearing, head, hands, legs and feet is 
recommended. 

Adequate protective clothing will reduce 

personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with 
the saw chain.

e)   Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, 

from a rooftop, or any unstable support. 

Operation 

of a chain saw in this manner could result in serious 
personal injury.

f)   Always keep proper footing and operate the chain 

saw only when standing on fixed, secure and level 
surface. 

Slippery or unstable surfaces may cause a loss 

of balance or control of the chain saw.

g)   When cutting a limb that is under tension , be alert 

for spring back. 

When the tension in the wood fibres is 

released , the spring loaded limb may strike the operator 
and/or throw the chain saw out of control.

h)   Use extreme caution when cutting brush and 

saplings. 

The slender material may catch the saw chain 

and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

i)   Carry the chain saw by the front handle with the 

chain saw switched off and away from your body. 
When transporting or storing the chain saw , always 
fit the guide bar cover. 

Proper handling of the chain 

saw will reduce the likelihood of accidental contact with 
the moving saw chain.

j)   Follow instructions for lubricating, chain tensioning 

and changing the bar and chain. 

Improperly tensioned 

or lubricated chain may either break or increase the 
chance for kickback.

k)   Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for purposes 

not intended. For example: do not use chain saw 
for cutting metal, plastic, masonry or non-wood 
building materials. 

Use of the chain saw for operations 

different than intended could result in a hazardous 
situation.

l)   Do not attempt to fell a tree until you have an 

understanding of the risks and how to avoid them. 

Serious injury could occur to the operator or bystanders 
while felling a tree.

m)   Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you 

have been specifically trained to do so. Operation of 
a chain saw in a tree without proper training could 
increase the risk of serious personal injury.

n)   Follow all instructions when clearing jammed 

material, storing or servicing the chain saw. Make 
sure the switch is off and the battery pack is 
removed. 

Unexpected actuation of the chain saw while 

clearing jammed material or servicing may result in 

serious personal injury.

o)   Recommendation that the first-time user should, as 

a minimum, practise cutting logs on a saw-horse or 
cradle.

p)   Recommendation to have sharpening and 

maintenance of the saw chain performed by 
authorised service centres.

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 saw chain 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 saw chain 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 chain saw misuse and/or incorrect 
operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:

a)   Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers 

encircling the chain saw handles, with both hands 
on the saw and position your body and arm to allow 
you to resist kickback forces. 

Kickback forces can 

be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are 
taken. Do not let go of the chain saw.

b)   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.

c)   Only use replacement bars and chains specified 

by the manufacturer. 

Incorrect replacement guide 

bars and saw chains may cause chain breakage and/or 
kickback.

d)   Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and 

maintenance instructions for the saw chain.

 

Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to 
increased kickback.
