Position the chainsaw in such a way that

your body is clear of the cutting attach-

ment whenever the engine is running.

Stand to the left of cut while bucking.

Don’t put pressure on the saw when

reaching the end of a cut. The pressure

may cause the bar and rotating chain to

pop out of the cut or kerf, go out of

control and strike the operator or some

other object. If the rotating chain strikes

some other object, a reactive force may

cause the moving chain to strike the

operator.

Reactives forces may occur any time the

chain is rotating. Reactives forces can

be dangerous! In any chainsaw, the

powerful force used to cut wood can be

reversed (and work against the opera-

tor). If the rotating chain is suddenly

stopped by contact with any solid object

like a log or branch or is pinched, the

reactive forces may occur instantly.

These reactive forces may result in loss

of control which may, in turn, cause

serious or fatal injury. An understanding

of the causes of these reactive forces

may helpyou avoid loss of control.

The most common reactive forces are

– kickback,

– pushback,

– pull-in.

Kickback may occur when

the moving saw chain

near the upper quadrant of

the bar nose contacts a

solid object or is pinched.

The reaction of the cutting force of the

chain causes a rotational force on the

chainsaw in the direction opposite to the

chain movement. This may fling the bar

up and back in an uncontrolled arc

mainly in the plane of the bar. Under

some cutting circumstances the bar

moves towards the operator, who may

suffer severe or fatal injury.

Kickback may occur when the nose of

the guide bar is pinched unexpectedly,

unintentionally contacts solid material in

the wood or is incorrectly used to begin

a plunge or boring cut.
