Skating / Bouncing
When the chainsaw fails to dig in during a cut, the guide
bar can begin hopping or dangerously skidding along
the surface of the log or branch, possibly resulting in
the loss of control of the chainsaw. To prevent or reduce
skating or bouncing, always use the saw with both hands
make sure the saw chain establishes a groove for cutting.
Never cut small, fl exible branches or brushes with your
chainsaw. Their size and fl exibility can easily cause the
saw to bounce towards you or bind up with enough force
to cause a kickback. The best tool for that kind of work is a
hand saw, pruning shears, an axe or other hand tools.

Personal protective equipment

Wear a helmet at all times when operating the machine.
A helmet, equipped with mesh visor, can help reduce the
risk of injury to the face and the head if kickback occurs.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
