Kickback
WARNING! Beware of kickback! Kickback
can lead to dangerous loss of control of the
product and result in serious or fatal injury to the
operator or anyone standing close by!

pinch kickback are major product operational
dangers and the leading cause of most accidents!

motion of the product, occurring when the chain
(at the tip of the chain bar) comes in contact with a
log or wood, or when the chain becomes jammed.
b). When kickback occurs the product reacts
unpredictably and can cause severe injuries to
the operator or bystanders.
c). With a basic understanding of 'kickback', the
element of surprise can be reduced or eliminated.
Sudden surprise contributes to the majority of
accidents.
d). You should read all the safety warnings and user
instructions carefully before attempting to operate
this product.
To avoid kickback:
- Never work with a loose, overstretched or worn
out chain
