• Tip contact in some cases may cause
a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the
guide bar up and back towards the
operator (cf. fig. 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 firm grip, with
thumbs and fingers encircling
the chain saw handles, with
both hands on the saw and po-
sition your body and arm to al-
low you to resist kickback forc-
es. 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 en-
ables better control of the chain saw in
unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the manu-
facturer. 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 point of the
blade (cf. fig. 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.
