Kickbacks, skating, bouncing and dropping

Different forces can have an effect on the safe
control of the product.

• Skating is when the guide bar glides or
moves quickly across the wood.

• Bouncing is when the guide bar lifts off the
wood and touches it again and again.

• Dropping is when the product drops down
after the cut is made. This can cause the
moving chain to touch a part of the body or
other objects, causing injury or damage.

• Kickback is when the end of the guide bar
touches objects and moves rearward, up or
suddenly forward. Kickback also occurs
when the wood closes in and pinches the

saw chain during the cut. Loss of control
can result if the product touches an object
in wood.

• Rotational Kickback can occur when the
moving chain touches an object at the
top of the guide bar. This can cause the
chain to bury into the object and cause
the chain to stop immediately. The result
is a very fast, reverse reaction that
moves the guide bar up and rearward in
the direction of the operator.

• Pinch-Kickback can occur when the saw
chain suddenly stops during the cut. The
wood closes in and pinches the moving
saw chain along the top of the guide
bar. The sudden stop of the chain
reverses the chain force and causes the
product to move in the opposite
direction of the turn of the chain. The
product moves rearward in the direction
of the operator.

• Pull-In can occur when the saw chain
suddenly stops when the moving chain
touches an object in the wood along the
bottom of the guide bar. The sudden
stop pulls the product forward and away
from the operator, which can easily
