KICKBACK
,_WARNING:
Avoid kickback
which can result in serious
injury.
Kickback
is the backward,
upward or
sudden forward motion of the guide
bar occurring when the chain near the
upper tip of the guide bar contacts
any
object such as a log or branch, or
when the wood closes in and pinches
the chain in the cut. Contacting
a for-
eign object in the wood can also result
in loss of control.
• Rotational Kickback can occur when
the moving chain contacts an object
at the upper tip of the guide bar. This
contact can cause the chain to dig
into the object, which stops the chain
for an instant. The result is a lightning
fast, reverse reaction which kicks the
guide bar up and back toward the op-
erator.
• Pinch-Kickback
can occur when
the wood closes in and pinches the
moving chain in the cut along the
top of the guide bar and the chain is
suddenly
stopped. This sudden
stopping
of the chain results in a re-
versal of the chain force used to cut
wood and causes the pruner to
move in the opposite
direction of the
chain rotation. The pruner is driven
straight back toward the operator.
• Pull-In can occur when the moving
chain contacts a foreign object in the
wood in the cut along the bottom of
the guide bar and the chain is sud-
denly stopped. This sudden stopping
pulls the pruner forward and away
from the operator and could easily
cause the operator to lose control of
the pruner.
REDUCE
THE CHANCE
OF
KICKBACK
• Recognize
that kickback
can hap-
pen. With a basic understanding
of
kickback,
you can reduce the ele-
ment of surprise which contributes
to
accidents.
