saw for 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 workpiece 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 guide bars and saw 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.
