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:
– Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs
and fingers encircling the chain saw
handles, with both hands on the
saw and position your body and arm
to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Kickback forces can be
controlled by the operator, if proper
precautions are taken. Do not let go
of the chain saw.
– Do not overreach and do not cut
above shoulder height. This helps
prevent unintended tip contact and
enables better control of the chain
saw in unexpected situations.
– Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the
manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may
cause chain breakage and/or
kickback.
– Follow the manufacturer's
sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height
can lead to increased kickback.
