KICKBACK
_,WARNING:
Avoid
kickback
which
can result in serious
injury.
Kickback
is the
backward,
upward
or sudden forward motion
of the guide
bar occurring
when
the chain
near the upper tip of the guide
bar contacts
any object such as a log or branch,
or when
the wood closes
in and pinches
the chain in
the cut.
Contacting
a foreign
object
in the
wood can also result in loss of control.
• Rotational
Kickback
can occur when the
moving chain cot_tects an object at the upper
tip of the guide bar. This contact can cause
the chain to dig into the object, which stops
the chain
for an instant.
The
result
is a
lightning fast, reverse reaction which kicks the
guide bar up and back toward the operator.
• Pinch-Kickback
can eccur when the wood
closes in and pinches
the moving
chain in
the cut along the top of the guide bar and the
chain
is suddenly
stopped.
This
sudden
stopping
of the chain results in a reversal of
the
chain
force
used
to cut wood
and
causes the pruner to move in the opposite
direction
of the chain rotation. The pruner is
driven straight
back toward the operator.
