GLOSARY OF TERMS

Skating

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. The sideward motion of the

guide bar can increase the risk of kickback. To prevent

or reduce this skating, hold the chain saw with two hands

and make sure the saw chain establishes a groove for

cutting.

Bucking

The process of cross cutting a felled tree or log into

lengths.

Bouncing

Never cut small, flexible branches or brush with your

chain saw. Their size and flexbility can easily cause the

saw to bounce toward you or bind up with enough force

to cause a kickback. The best tools for that kind of work

are a hand saw, pruning shears, an axe and other hand

tools.

Chain Brake

A device used to stop the saw chain.



A chainsaw without the saw chain and guide bar.

Clutch

A mechanism for connecting and disconnecting a driven

member to and from a rotating source of

power.

Drive Sprocket or Sprocket

The toothed part that drives the saw chain.

Felling

The process of cutting down a tree.

Felling Back Cut

The final cut in a tree felling operation made on the

opposite side of the tree from the notching

undercut.

Front Hand Guard

A structural barrier between the front handle of a chainsaw

and the guide bar, typically located close to the hand

position on the front handle, and sometimes employed as

an activating lever for a chain brake.

Front Handle

The support handle located at or toward the front of the

chainsaw. This handle is for the left hand.

Guide Bar

A solid railed structure that supports and guides the saw

chain.



The backward or upward motion, or both, of the guide bar

occurring when the saw chain near the nose of the top

area of the guide bar contacts any object such as a log or

branch, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw

chain in the cut.



The rapid pushback of the saw which can occur when the

wood closes in and pinches the moving saw chain in the

cut along the top of the guide bar.



The rapid upward and backward motion of the saw which

can occur when the moving saw chain near the upper

portion of the tip of the guide bar contacts an object, such

as a log or branch.



A chain that complies with the kickback performance

requirements of ISO 9518 when tested on a representative

sample of chainsaws.



Those positions assumed in performing the bucking and

felling cuts.

Notching Undercut

A notch cut in a tree that directs the tree’s fall.

Rear Handle

The support handle located at or toward the rear of the

saw. It normally contains the throttle. This handle is for the

right hand.



A guide bar which has been demonstrated to reduce

kickback significantly.

Replacement Saw Chain

A chain that complies with the kickback performance

requirements of ISO 9518 when tested with specific

chainsaws. It may not meet the ANSI performance

requirements when used with other saws.

Saw Chain

A loop of chain having cutting teeth that cut the wood and

that is driven by the motor and is supported by the guide

bar.

Springpole

A small tree (sapling) or limb that is bent or trapped under

tension. It may “spring back” rapidly when cut, causing a

dangerous situation.
