WARNING: Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the chain saw
and result in serious or fatal injury to the saw operator or to anyone
standing close by. Always be alert. Rotational kickback and pinch-kickback
are major chain saw operational dangers and the leading cause of most
accidents.
Beware of:
▪ Rotational kickback (Fig. 2a)
A = kickback path
B = kickback reaction zone
▪ The push (pinch kickback) and pull reactions a = pull (Fig. 2b)
B = solid objects
C = push
When the chain saw fails to dig in during a cut, the guide bar can begin hopping or
dangerously skidding along the surface of the log or branch, possibly resulting in the loss of
control of the chain saw. To prevent or reduce skating, hold the chain saw with two hands and
make sure the saw chain establishes a groove for cutting.
