Kickback information
WARNING: A kickback can cause
serious injury or death to the operator or
others. To decrease the risk you must know
the causes of kickback and how to prevent
them.
A kickback occurs when the kickback zone of the guide
bar touches an object. A kickback can occur suddenly
and with large force, which throws the product in the
direction of the operator.
Kickback always occurs in the cutting plane of the guide
bar. Usually, the product is thrown against the operator
but can also move in a different direction. It is how you
use the product when the kickback occurs that causes
the direction of the movement.
Kickback only occurs if the kickback zone of the guide
bar touches an object. Do not let the kickback zone
touch an object.
A smaller bar tip radius decreases the force of the
kickback.
Use a low kickback saw chain to decrease the effects of
kickback. Do not let the kickback zone touch an object.
WARNING:
No saw chain fully
prevents kickback. Always obey the
instructions.
Common questions about kickback
• Will the hand always engage the chain brake during
a kickback?
No. It is necessary to use some force to push the
front hand guard forward. If you do not use the force
necessary, the chain brake will not be engaged. You
must also hold the handles of the product stable with
two hands during work. If a kickback occurs, it is
possible that the chain brake does not stop the saw
chain before it touches you. There are also some
positions in which your hand can not touch the front
hand guard to engage the chain brake.
• Will the inertia release mechanism always engage
the chain brake during kickback?
No. First, the chain brake must operate correctly.
Refer to
Maintenance and checks of the safety
devices on the product on page 27
for instructions
about how to do a check of the chain brake. We
recommend you to do this each time before you
use the product. Second, the force of the kickback
