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.
The process of cross cutting a felled tree or log into
lengths.
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.
A device used to stop the saw chain.
A chainsaw without the saw chain and guide bar.
A mechanism for connecting and disconnecting a driven
member to and from a rotating source of
power.
The toothed part that drives the saw chain.
The process of cutting down a tree.
The final cut in a tree felling operation made on the
opposite side of the tree from the notching
undercut.
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.
The support handle located at or toward the front of the
chainsaw. This handle is for the left hand.
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.
A notch cut in a tree that directs the tree’s fall.
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.
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.
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.
A small tree (sapling) or limb that is bent or trapped under
tension. It may “spring back” rapidly when cut, causing a
dangerous situation.
