Causes and operator prevention of
kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of
the guide bar touches an object, or when the
wood 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 tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions
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.
14. Cut the wood in right direction.
15.
Before use the chain saw, be sure to
check the chain and bar in tension.
Don’t
use the chain saw if the chain and bar are
loose. Also confirm with that no abnormality
exists by actual test running.
16. Do not operate in rain.
17.
Switch off and remove the battery pack
when not in use, and before performing
maintenance or adjustments.
18. Pull out the battery pack before you change
or adjust the bar and chain Use only suitable
bar Oregon/180SDEA041 and chain Oregon
/91P062X.
19.
Never leave the machine unattended in
rooms with children.
20.
Keep the machine out of children’s reach.
21. The first-time user should, as a minimum
practice, cutting logs on a saw-horse or
cradle.
