cases, lead to an unexpected rearwards reaction
resulting in the guide rail flying upwards towards
the operator .
• Kickbacks can occur if the tip of the guide rail
touches an object or if the wood bends and the
saw chain gets caught in the cut.
• If the saw chain jams in the upper edge of the
guide rail, the rail can kick back violently towards
the operator.
• Any such reaction can lead to you losing control
over the saw and possibly injuring yourself. Do
not rely solely on the chainsaw's built-in safety
devices. As the user of a chainsaw, you can take
a number of measures to avoid accidents and
injury. A kickback is caused by incorrect use
or misuse. It can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
• Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with your
thumb and fingers around the handles of the
chainsaw. Hold your body and arms in a position
in which you can withstand kickback forces. If
suitable measures are taken, the operator can
control the recoil forces. Never let go of the
chainsaw.
• Avoid an abnormal posture and do not
saw above shoulder height. This will prevent
inadvertent contact with the tip of the rail
and allows a better control of the chainsaw in
unexpected situations.
• Always use the replacement rails and saw
chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement rails and saw chains can lead to a
tearing of the saw chain and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
sharpening and mainten-ance of the saw chain.
Setting the depth stop too low can increase the
risk of kickback.
• Do not saw with the tip of the blade. This can
lead to kickback.
• Ensure that there are no objects on the ground
that you can trip over.
