SAFETY

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

device is

not installed on the guide bar when

you purchase your chain saw. The

optional Kick Guard

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

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.
