WARNING:
Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of con-

the operator or bystanders. Always be alert. Rotational
kickback and pinch kickback are the major chain saw
operational dangers and the leading cause for most ac-
cidents.

C. Push
Kickback may occur when the
nose
or
tip
of the guide
bar touches an object, or when wood closes in and
pinches the chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning-fast re-
verse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back toward
the operator.
Pinching
the saw chain along the
bottom
of the guide
bar may
pull
the saw forward away from the operator.
Pinching
the saw chain along the
top
of the guide bar
may
push
the guide bar rapidly back toward the opera-
tor.
Any of these reactions may cause you to lose control of
the saw, which could result in serious personal injury.
