Kickback causes and how
to avoid them with pole-
mounted pruners
Caution - kickbacks! Be awa-
re that you may experience
kickback while working with
the device. There is a risk
of injury. Kickbacks can be
avoided through taking the
appropriate care and using
the correct sawing technique.

• Kickbacks may occur if the tip of
the guide rail touches an object,
or if the wood bends and the
saw chain gets caught in the cut
(see Fig. b).
• Under some circumstances,
contact with tip of the rails can
lead to an unexpected back-
wards reaction movement duri-
ng which the guide rails move
upwards and strike the operator
(see Fig. a).
b
• If the saw chain becomes stuck
along the top edge of the guide
rail, the rail can kick back heavi-
ly towards to the operator.
• Each of these reactions can lead
to you losing control of the saw
and potentially being seriously
injured. Do not rely exclusively on
the safety devices built into the
chainsaw. As user of the chain-
saw, you should undertake various
measures to enable accident- and
injury-free working.
A kickback is caused by wrongly
or incorrectly operating the electric
tool. It can be avoided by suitable
cautionary measures, such as de-
scribed below:
• Hold the saw fi rmly with
both hands with thumbs
and fi ngers surrounding
the chainsaw handles.
Place your body and arms
in a position where you
can withstand the kick-
back forces. The user will
be capable of withstanding
the kickback forces if suitable
measures are undertaken. Ne-
ver let go of the chainsaw.
• Avoid an abnormal body
posture. This will enable better
control over the chainsaw in un-
foreseen situations.
• Always use the replace-
ment rails and saw chains
specifi ed by the manufac-
turer. Incorrect replacement
rails and saw chains can cause
the chain to break apart and/or
may lead to kickback.
