GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK,. "

Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead t0

serious injury. Do not rely only on the safety devices

provided withyoursaw. Asa chain saw user, you must

take special safety precautions to help keep your

cutting Jobs free from accident or injury.

_k KICKBACK WARNING

Klokb_.k can Qccur when the moving chain contacts

anobj_"t atthe upperportion of thetipofthe guidebar

or when the woodcloses in and pinches thesaw chain

in the cut. Contact at theupperportion ofthe tipof the

gutde bar can causethe chainto digintothe object and

stop the chain for an instant. The result isa lightning

fast, reverse reaction whichkicks the guide barupand

back toward the operator. If the saw chain ispinched

"along lhe top of the guide bar,.the guide,bar can be

drivenrapidly back towardtheoperator. Eitherofthese

reactionscan cause loss of saw cont,_ wh}ch can

result in serious injury.

REDUCE THE GHANCE OF KICKBACK

1. Recognize that kickback can happen. With a basic

understandingofkickback, youcan reducethe ele.

ment of surprise which contributesto accidents.

2. Never let the moving chain contact any object at

the tip of the guide bar. Figure 1.

• 3. Keep the working area free from Obstructions

such as otherlrees,_brenches, rocks, fences,

stumps, etc. Figure 2. Eliminate or avoid any

obstructionthat your saw chain couldhit while you

are cutting through a particular logor branch.

4. Keep your saw chain sharp and properly

tensioned. A loose or dull chain can increase the

chance of kickback. 'Follow manufacturer's chain

sharpening and maintenance instructions.Check

tension at_tegolar intervalswiththe motorstopped,

neverwiththemotorrunning.Makesurethatbarclamp

nulsaresecurelytightenedaftertensioning thechain,

5_Begin and continue cutting only with the chain

moving at full speed. If the chain is moving at a

slowerspeed, there is greaterchance for kickback

tO OCCU _" ,r

6. Cut one log at a time.

7. Use extreme caution when reentering a previous

cut.

8. Do not attempt plunge or borecuts.

9. Watchforshiftinglogsorotherforcesthatcould

close a cut and pinch or fall intothe chain.

3. Stand with your weight evenly balanced on both

feet,

4. Stand slightly to the left side of the saw, to keep

ymarbody from being in adirect fine with the cut-

ring chain. Figure 3.

A. BASIC CUTTING TECHNIQUE

).' IMPORTANT POINTS

a. Cut wood only. Do not cut metat, plastics,

masonry,non-woodbuildingmaterials,etc.Donot

useyoursawtopryorshoveawaylimbs,rootsor

otherobjects_

b. Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign

object. Inspecttheuntand repairorreplaceparts

as neoessary. . .

c.- Keepthechsin outofdirt andsand. IEvenasmal!

amount of dirt wfl!quickly dull a chain, which

increasesthe possibilityofkickback.

' ,_ KICKBACKWARNING

Klokback can ocGurwhen the moving chain contacts

anobject at the upper portion ofthe tipofthe guide bar

orwhen the wood doses in aridpinches theSawchain

Inthe cut. Contact at theupperponion ofthe tip ofthe

guidebar cancause the chaintodlgIn_ theoh,lootand

stop the chain for aninstant. The result is a lightning

fast, reverse reaction whichkicksthe guide bar up and

back totmrd the operator. If the saw chain ispinched

Mong thetop of theguide bar, the guide bar can be

"driven re#idly back toward theoperator, FJtherof these

reactions can cause loss of saw control which can

result in serious injury.

Practicecutting a fewsmall logs usingthefollowing

techniqueto getthe "feel" Ofusingyoursaw before

you begin a major sawing operation

a. Assumethe propercutUng stancedescribed In

the section "Special Safety Section," page 3,

•"-- firm grip on front and rear handles, weight

evenly balanced on both feet;, and body

slightly to the left side of the saw.

b. Make sure the.extep_sion cord.is completly

away from the saw and your body so the cord

cannot becut or becomewrapped aroundyour

•feet or legs. ,

c. Press the trigger to start the chain moving

before beginning the cut.

Begin cutting with the saw frame and spikes

against the log. Figure 17.

Allow the chain to cut for you. Exert onlylight

downwardpressure. Ifyouforcethecut, damage

to the bar,chain or motor can result.

C. BUCKING

• Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen

tree tothe desired log size,

1. IMPORTANT POINTS

a. Cutonlyonelog atatime.

b• Cut shattered wood very carefully. Sharp

pieces of wood could be flung toward the

operator•

C. Use a sawhorse to cut small logs. Never

,allow an.other-personto hold the logwhilecut-

tingand neverhold the logwithyourlegoHoOt.

d•- Do not cutin an area where logs, limbs and

roots are tangled such as in a blown down

area. Drag thelogsintoaclear areabeforecut-

ting by pulling out exposed and cleared logs

first.

e, Make the first bucking cut 1/3 of the way

through the logand finish witha 2/3cuton the

opposite side, Figures22,25 and26.Asthe log

is being cut, it willtend to _<md.The saw can

become pinched or hung in the log if you make

the firstcut deeper than 1/3ofthediameter ofthe

log.

f. Give special.attentionto.logs under strain

to prevent the saw from pinching. Make'the

first cut on the pressureside to relieve the

,. stresson thelog, Figure22.

2. TYPES OF CUTTING USED :(Figure23)

Overoutting - begin on the topside ofthe log

with the.bottom of.the saw .agafnst!he log;

exert lightpressure downward.

m Undercutting - begin on the under,sideof the

log withthe topofthesaw againstthelog;exed

light pressure upward. During undercutting,

the saw wilt tend topushback at you, Be pre-

pared for.this reactionand hold thesaw firmly

Never turn the saw upside down to undercut. The

.. saw cannot be Controlled in this position.

_WARNING

If saw becomes pinched or hung tn a log, don't try to

force itout. You could lose control ofthe saw resulting

in personal Injury and/or damage to the saw. Stop the

saw and drive awedge ofplasticorwoodIntothecutuntil
