GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK,. "

Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead t0 serious injury. Do not rely only on the safety devices

provided withyoursaw. As a chain saw user, you must take special safety precautions to help keep your

cutting Jobs free from accident or injury.

_k KICKBACKWARNING

Klokb_.k can Qccur when the moving chain contacts anobj_"t atthe upperportion of thetip of the guidebar

or when the woodcloses in and pinches thesaw chain

in the cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tipof the

gutde barcan causethe chainto dig intothe object and

stop the chain for an instant. The result is a lightning fast, reverse reaction whichkicks the guide barupand

back toward the operator. If the saw chain is pinched

"along lhe top of the guide bar,.the guide,bar can be

drivenrapidly back towardtheoperator. Either ofthese reactionscan cause loss of saw cont,_ wh}ch can

result in serious injury.

REDUCE THE GHANCE OF KICKBACK

1. Recognize that kickback can happen. With a basic understandingof kickback, youcan reducethe ele.

ment of surprise which contributesto accidents.

2. Never let the moving chain contact any object at

the tip of the guide bar. Figure 1.

• 3. Keep the working area free from Obstructions

such as otherlrees,_brenches, rocks, fences, stumps, etc. Figure 2. Eliminate or avoid any obstructionthat your saw chain couldhit while you

are cutting through a particular logor branch.

4. Keep your saw chain sharp and properly

tensioned. A loose or dull chain can increase the chance of kickback. 'Follow manufacturer's chain

sharpening and maintenance instructions.Check

tension at_tegolar intervalswiththe motorstopped,

neverwiththemotorrunning.Makesurethatbarclamp nulsaresecurelytightened aftertensioning the chain,

5_Begin and continue cutting only with the chain

moving at full speed. If the chain is moving at a slowerspeed, there is greaterchance for kickback

tO OCCU _" ,r

6. Cut one log at a time.

7. Use extreme caution when reentering a previous cut.

8. Do not attempt plunge or borecuts.

9. Watchforshiftinglogsorotherforcesthatcould

close a cut and pinch or fall intothe chain.

,10, Use the Reduced.Kic.kback Guide Bar and Low-

Kickback Chain specified fol"your saw.

6. Avoidaccidental starting. Alwaysunplug the saw when not in use.

AVOID REACTIVE FORCES

Pinch.Kickback and Pull-in occur when the chain is . -._-:

suddenly stopped by being pinched, caught, or by contacting aforeign object in thewood. Thisresultsin

reversalof the chainforcebeing usedto cutwood and

causes the sawtomoveintheopposite directionofchain

To avoid Pinch-Kickback:

1. Be extremely aware of situations or obstructions

thatcan causemateria]topinchthetopofOrotherwise stopthechain.

2. Do not cut more than one log at a time.

3. Do not twist the saw asthe bar iswithdrawnfrom an

To avoid Pull-in:

1. Always begin cutting with the chain moving at full apeed and the law frame against the wood.

2. Use wedges made of plastic or wood, (never of metal ) to h01dthe cutopen.
