Kickback causes and how
to avoid them with pole-
mounted pruners
Caution - kickbacks! Be aware that
you may experience kickback while
working with the device. There is a
risk of injury. Kickbacks can be avo-
ided 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
backwards reaction movement during
which the guide rails move upwards and
strike the operator (see Fig. a).
• If the saw chain becomes stuck along
the top edge of the guide rail, the rail
can kick back heavily 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 exclu-
sively on the safety devices built into the
chainsaw. As user of the chainsaw, you
should undertake various measures to
enable accident- and injury-free working.
A kickback is caused by wrongly or incor-
rectly operating the electric tool. It can be

avoided by suitable cautionary measures,
such as described below:
• Hold the saw firmly with both
hands with thumbs and fin-
gers surrounding the chainsaw
handles. Place your body and
arms in a position where you
can withstand the kickback
forces. The user will be capable of
withstanding the kickback forces if sui-
table measures are undertaken. Never
let go of the chainsaw.
• Avoid an abnormal body posture.
This will enable better control over the
chainsaw in unforeseen situations.
• Always use the replacement
rails and saw chains specified
by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement rails and saw chains can
cause the chain to break apart and/or
may lead to kickback.
• Comply with the manufacturer's
instructions for sharpening and
maintaining the saw chain.
Depth limiters placed too low increase
the potential for kickbacks.
• Do not saw with the tip of the
blade bar (see Fig. b). There is a
risk of kickback.
• Ensure there are no objects on
the ground which could cause
you to stumble.
