Kick-back is the result of incorrect or deficient use.
It can be prevented by suitable precautionary meas-
ures, as described in the following:
■ Hold the saw firmly with both hands, with the
thumbs and fingers enclosing the chainsaw
handles. Bring your body and arms into a posi-
tion in which you can absorb the kickback forc-
es. If suitable measures are implemented, the
operator will be able to withstand the kick-back
forces. Never let go of the chainsaw (see fig. D).
■ Avoid an unusual body stance and never saw
above shoulder height. This will help to avoid
unintentional contact with the rail tip, and enable
improved control of the chainsaw in unexpected
situations.
■ Always use replacement guide rails and saw
chains prescribed by the manufacturer. Incor-
rect replacement guide bars and saw chains
may cause the saw chain to break and/or lead
to kick-back.
■ Adhere to the instructions of the manufactur-
er when sharpening and maintaining the saw
chain. If the depth limiter is too low, this in-
creases the tendency towards kick-back.
■ Do not saw with the tip of the guide bar. There
is a risk of kick-back.
■ Make sure that there are no nails or metal piec-
es in the cutting area. Pay special attention to
nails or pieces of iron around the cutting area.
Also be careful when sawing hardwoods where
the chain can get caught. This can cause kick-
back.
■ Start cutting at full power and always keep the
chainsaw at maximum speed while sawing.
■ Make sure that there are no objects on the floor
that you can trip over.
