Reaction Forces

resulting in serious injury to operator and bystanders.

Understanding what causes these reactive forces may help you to avoid them,

and can help you to maintain control of the equipment if you experience a

sudden reaction during cutting. Reactive forces occur when the force being

applied by the cutting teeth of a blade meet resistance, and some of the cutting

force is directed back toward the equipment. The greater the cutting force or

the amount of resistance, the greater the reactive force.

Push and pull forces are reactive forces that push the

equipment directly toward the operator, or that pull the
