WARNING
KICKBACK DANGER (Fig. 2)
One of the most severe dangers when working with a chain
saw is the possibility of kickback. Kickback may occur when
the upper 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 lightning fast reverse
reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back toward you.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may
also push the guide bar rapidly back towards you. Either of
these reactions may cause you to lose control of the chain
saw which could result in serious personal injury. Even
though your chain saw has safety built into its design, you
should not rely on these safety features exclusively. Know
where your guide bar tip is at all times. Kickback does occur
if you allow the kickback zone (1) of the guide bar to touch
an object. Do not use that area. Kickback from pinching is
caused by a cut closing and pinching the upper side of the
guide bar. Study your cut and make sure it will open as you
cut through. Maintain control when the engine is running by
always keeping a fi rm grip on the chain saw with your right
hand on the rear handle, your left hand on the front handle
and your thumbs and fi ngers encircling the handles. Always
hold the chain saw with both hands during operation and cut
at high engine speed.
Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain. The lack of this maintenance
may increase the possibility of kickback.
