chainsaw. Make sure the switch is off and
the battery pack is removed. Unexpected
actuation of the chainsaw while clearing
jammed material or servicing, may result in
serious personal injury.
Causes and Operator Prevention of
Kickback:
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of
the guide bar touches an object, or when the
wood closes in and pinches the chainsaw in
the cut.
In some cases, tip contact may cause a
sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide
bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the chainsaw along the top of the
guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly
back towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to
lose control of the saw which could result in
serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into your saw.
As a chainsaw user, you should take several
steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
