Cutting equipment designed to reduce kickback
The only way to avoid kickback is to make sure that the
kickback zone of the bar never touches anything. By
using cutting equipment with "built-in" kickback reduction
and keeping the chain sharp and wellmaintained you
can reduce the effects of kickback.
Guide bar
The smaller the tip radius the lower the chance of
kickback.
Saw chain
A chain is made up of a number of links, which are
available in standard and low-kickback versions.
WARNING: No saw chain design eliminates
the danger of kickback.
