Use Low Kickback Saw Chains - The rakers (depth
gauges) ahead of each cutter can minimize the force
of a kickback reaction by preventing the cutters from
digging in too deeply at the kickback zone. Only
use replacement chain that is equivalent to original
chain or has been certified as low kickback chain
per ANSI B175.1.
