Causes and operator prevention of kickback
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.

Technical and legal information
Safety warnings
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden reverse
reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the
operator.
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 product 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:
1. Maintain a rm grip, with thumbs and ngers
encircling the product 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 product.
2. Do not overreach. This helps prevent unintended tip
contact and enables better control of the product in
unexpected situations.
3. Only use replacement bars and chains specied
by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and
chains may cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
4. Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
