Kickback Safety Precau Tions for Chain SAW Users

17. Use extreme caution when cut- ting small size brush and sap- lings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

18.When cutting a limb that is un- der tension, be alert for spring- back so that you will not be struck when the tension in the

wood fibers is released.

19. Never cut in high wind, bad weather, when visibility is poor or in very high or low temperatures. Always check the tree for dead branches which could fall during the felling operation.

20.Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture.

21.Operate the chain saw only in

well ventilated areas. Never start or run the engine inside a closed room or building. Exhaust fumes contain dangerous carbon mon- oxide.

22.Do not operate the chain saw in a tree unless specially trained to

do so.

23. Guard against kickback. Kick-

back is the upward motion of the

guide bar which occurs when the

saw chain at the nose of the

guide bar contacts an object.

Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the chain saw.

24. When transporting your chain saw, make sure the appropriate guide bar scabbard is in place.

KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAU-

TIONS FOR CHAIN SAW USERS

WARNING

•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 con- tact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse reac-

tion, 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	G
to lose control of the saw,	B
which could result in serious
personal injury.
• Do not rely exclusively on the
safety devices built into your
saw. As a chain saw user you
should take several steps to
keep cutting jobs free from ac-
cident or injury.
(1) With a basic understanding of
kickback you can reduce or
eliminate the element of surprise.
Sudden surprise contributes to
accidents.
(2) Keep a good grip on the saw with
both hands, the right hand on the
rear handle, and the left hand on
the front handle, when the engine
is running. Use a firm grip with
thumbs and fingers encircling
the chain saw handles. A firm
grip will help you reduce kick-
back and maintain control of the
saw.

(3)Make certain that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, or any other obstruction which could be hit while you are operating the saw.

(4)Cut at high engine speeds.

(5) Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

(6)Follow the manufacturer’s sharp- ening and maintenance instruc- tions for the saw chain.

(7) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufac- turer or the equivalent.
