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.
