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.

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

chainsaw which could result in serious personal injury. Do

not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your

chainsaw. As a chainsaw 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 chainsaw handles. With both hands on the

chainsaw, 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 chainsaw.

 Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height.

This helps prevent unintended tip contact and enables

better control of the chainsaw in unexpected situations.

 Only use replacement guide bars and chains specified

by the manufacturer. Incorrect replacement guide 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.

Safety recommendations for the chainsaw

 We strongly recommend that first time users obtain

practical instruction in the use of the chainsaw and

protective equipment from an experienced user. Initial

practice should be completed sawing logs on a saw

horse or cradle.

 We recommend that when carrying the chainsaw that

you make sure that the brake is engaged

 Maintain your chainsaw when not in use. Do not store

your chainsaw for any length of time without first

removing the saw chain and guide bar which should be

kept immersed in oil. Store all parts of your chainsaw in

a dry, secure place out of reach of children.

 We recommend you drain the oil reservoir prior to

storage.

 Be sure of your footing and pre-plan a safe exit from a

falling tree or branches.

 Use wedges to help control felling and prevent binding

the guide bar and saw chain in the cut.

 Saw chain care. Keep the saw chain sharp and snug on

the guide bar. Ensure the saw chain and guide bar are

clean and well oiled. Keep handles dry, clean and free

from oil and grease.

Kickback can be caused by:

 Striking branches or other objects accidentally with a tip

of the saw while the saw chain is moving.

 Striking metal, cement or any other hard material near

the wood, or buried in the wood.

 A dull or loose chain.

 Cutting above shoulder height.

 Lack of attention when holding or guiding the chainsaw

while cutting.

 Over-reaching. Keep proper footing and balance at all

times and do not overreach.

 Do not try to insert into a previous cut. As this could

cause kickback. Make a fresh cut every time.

 We strongly recommend you do not attempt to operate

your chainsaw while in a tree, on a ladder or on any

other unstable surface. If you decide to do so, be

advised that these positions are extremely dangerous.

 When cutting a branch that is under tension, be alert for

spring back so that you will not be struck when the

tension is released.

Avoid cutting:

 Prepared timber.

 Into the ground.

 Into wire fences, nails. etc.

 Into small sized brush and saplings because slender

material may catch the saw chain and be whipped

towards you, or pull you off balance.

 Do not use your chainsaw above shoulder height.

 Ensure someone is nearby (but at a safe distance) in

case of an accident.

 If for any reason you have to touch the saw chain, make

sure your chainsaw is disconnected from the mains.

 The noise from this product can exceed 80 dB(A). We

therefore recommend you take appropriate measures

for the protection of hearing.
