Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back
towards the operator.
Each of there 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 chainsaw you should undertake various measures to enable accident- and injury
free working.
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:
a) Maintain a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chainsaw 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 chainsaw.
b) Avoid an abnormal work posture and do not saw above shoulder height. This enables
better control of the chainsaw in unforeseen situations.
c) Only use replacement bards and chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement
bards and chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
d) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
