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.

Figure I
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.
,10, Use the Reduced.Kic.kback Guide Bar and Low-
Kickback Chain specified fol"your saw.

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

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

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
sawDan be removed easily. Figure 24. Restart the saw
and oarefully reenter the out, To avoid kickback and
chethdamage, do not usea metal wedge.Donotattempt
to restart your saw when it Ispinched or hung Ina log.
