KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS FOR CHAINSAW USER
WARNING!
Kickback can occur if the guide bar touches an object or when
the cut of the wood closes and locks the chain.
Tip contact in some cases can cause an extremely rapid reverse reaction, moving the guide bar up
and toward the operator. In any of these cases the operator can lose control of the chainsaw and be
seriously injured.
Never rely solely on chainsaw safety devices, they do not ensure total safety. When using the
chainsaw it is necessary to proceed according to carefully planned steps, to avoid accidents during
work.
By understanding the basic situations in which kickback occurs, you can reduce
or eliminate the element of surprise. The startle caused by sudden movement of
the chainsaw is a major factor in every accident.
Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands: the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the
upper front handle when the engine is running. The thumbs and fingers of both hands should fit
firmly around the handles.
This allows to control the kickback of the chainsaw, the continued abuse of
the use of chainsaws, by causing other vibrations is likely to aggravate symptoms such as: numb-
ness of the hands, which can become chronic and make you lose the tactile sensation.
