Either of these reactions may cause
you to lose control of the saw which
could result in serious personal
injury. Do not rely exclusively upon
the safety devices built into your
saw. As a chain saw user, you
should take several steps to keep
your cutting jobs free from accident
or injury.
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.
