General Working Instructions
	Pinch Kickback

	kickback zone hits an object, a rotational kickback
	may occur.

	Direction of Kickback
	A kickback always travels in the plane of the bar.
	Depending on how you hold the electric chain saw,
	a kickback may come up and back at you or move in
	any angle you happen to hold the electrc chain saw in.
	For example, if you experience a kickback during felling,
	the electric chain saw will move in the horizontal plane
	and can swing around and hit your leg.
	IMPORTANT!
	• Kickback can only occur if the kickback danger
	zone of the bar touches an object.
	• A kickback can be lightning fast.
	• Although most kickbacks are small, a
	kickback can sometimes be very violent.
	• Always be sure of your footing and hold the chain
	saw firmly with both hands while the motor is
	running.
