KICKBACK
Kickback may occur when the moving chain contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip
of the guide bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contact at
the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into the object and stop
the chain for an instant. The result is a lightning fast reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar
up and back toward the operator. If the saw chain is pinched along the top of the guide bar,
the guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these reactions can
cause loss of saw control which can result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the
safety devices built into the saw. As a polesaw user, you should take several steps to keep your
cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
CAuSES AND OPERATOR PREvENTION OF KICKBACK
• Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling the polesaw 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 polesaw.
• 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.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
