• The term kickback refers to when the saw suddenly jumps
up and back. This is usually caused by the work piece coming

chain. A kickback generates an abrupt powerful force. The
saw usually reacts in an uncontrolled manner, creating the
possibility of injury to the user.
• Recommendation for the use of a residual current device with
a tripping current of 30 mA or less
• Position the cord so that it will not be caught on branches and
the like, during cutting.
• Recommendation that the first-time user should, as a
minimum practice, cutting logs on a saw-horse or cradle.
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible
below the workpiece.

the workpiece to a stable platform. The size of the workpiece
couldn't be too small to avoid any danger.

unstable and may lead to loss of control.
