Always switch off the motor of the chainsaw before
moving from tree to tree.
6.3 Kickback
The term “kickback” describes what happens when
the running chainsaw suddenly kicks upward and
backward. Usually, this is caused by contact between
the tip of the cutter rail and the workpiece or the saw
chain becoming trapped.
In the event of kickback, large forces occur suddenly
and violently. As a result, the chainsaw usually reacts
uncontrollably. This can often result in very serious
injuries to the worker or persons in the vicinity. The
risk of kickback is particularly great when performing
cross cuts, angled cuts and longitudinal cuts, as it is
not possible to use the claw stop on these cuts. You
should therefore avoid these cuts as far as possible
and take particular care when they are unavoidable.
The risk of kickback is at its greatest when the saw is
positioned for a cut in the region of the tip of the cutter
rail, as the leverage effect is greatest there (Fig. 20). It
is therefore safest to position the saw flat and as close
as possible to the claw stop before making the cut
(Fig. 21).
Caution:
앬 Make sure that the chain tension is always
correctly adjusted.
앬 Only use a chainsaw if it is in perfect working
order.
앬
Only work with a saw chain that has been
properly sharpened in accordance with the
instructions.
앬 Never operate the saw above shoulder height.
앬 Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the
sword.
앬 Always hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands.
앬 Whenever possible, use the claw stop as a
leverage point.
Cutting wood which is under tension
Special care is required when cutting wood which is
under tension. Wood which is under tension from
which it is released by cutting may in some cases
react completely unpredictably and uncontrollably. In
the worst case this could result in extremely severe or
even fatal injuries (Fig. 22-24).
This type of work must only be performed by persons
who have been specially trained.
