Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause
a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the
guide bar up and back towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the
top of the guide bar may push the guide
bar rapidly back towards the operator.
