Causes and operator preven-

tion of kickback

Beware of kickback! Be careful of

kickback of the machine during

work. There is danger of injury

here. You can avoid kickbacks by

exercising caution and using a cor-

rect sawing technique.

• Kickback may occur when the nose or

tip of the guide bar touches an object,

or when the wood closes in and pinch-

es the saw chain in the cut

(cf. g. b).

• Tip contact in some cases may cause

a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the

guide bar up and back towards the

operator (cf. g. a).

• 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 ac-

cident or injury.

Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/

or incorrect operating procedures or condi-

tions and can be avoided by taking proper

precautions as given below:

• Maintain a rm grip, with

thumbs and ngers 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 opera-

tor, 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 en-

ables better control of the chain saw in

unexpected situations.

• Only use replacement bars and

chains specied by the manufac-

turer. 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.

• Follow instructions for lubri-

cating, chain tensioning and

changing accessories. Improperly

tensioned or lubricated chain may ei-

ther break or increase the chance for

kickback.

• Do not saw with the point of the

blade (cf. g. b) or above shoul-

der height. Do not lean over too far

during the sawing operation.

• Ensure that there are no objects

lying around on the ground that

you can trip over.

Further safety directions

• Keep the equipment, cutting attachments

and protective blade cover in good con-

dition in order to prevent injury.
