Rules For Safe Operation
Kickback Safety Precautions for Chain Saw Users
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.
Tip contact in some cases may
cause a lightning fast 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.
The optional Kick Guard
TM
device is
not installed on the guide bar when
you purchase your chain saw. The
optional Kick Guard
TM
can be used in
a majority of cutting operations, and is
especially recommended for
beginners, homeowners, or chain
saw novices. Most cutting operations
can be accomplished with the
optional Kick Guard
TM
in place.
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.
1. With a basic understanding of
kickback, you can reduce or
eliminate the element of surprise.
Sudden surprise contributes to
accidents.
