PRECAUTIONS AGAINST KICKBACK FOR POLE PRUNER
CAUTION! RISK OF INJURY!
Be aware of the danger of kickback when working with the appliance. There is a risk of personal injury.
You can avoid kickbacks by being careful and using the correct sawing technique.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back

towards the operator.
 Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes
in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. (see Fig. D)
 Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the
operator.
 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.
