and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below:
• 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.
• 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 saw
chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
• Do not saw with the tip of the guide bar. This can lead to kickback.
• Ensure that there are no objects on the ground that you can trip over.
