WARNING

KICKBACK DANGER (Fig. 1)

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 saw which could

result in serious personal injury. Even though your saw has safety

built into its design, you should not rely on these safety features

exclusively. Know where your bar tip is at all times. Kickback does

occur if you allow the kickback zone (1) of the 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 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

saw with both hands during operation and cut at high engine speed.
