Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
retailers are designed specifically for chainsaw use
which give protection, good grip and also reduce the
effect of handle vibration.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your physician.

SAFETY DEVICES
Low kickback saw chain
of a kickback event.
minimize the force of a kickback reaction by preventing the
cutters from digging in too deeply. Only use replacement
guide bar and chain combinations recommended by the
manufacturer.
As saw chains are sharpened, they lose some of the low
kickback qualities and extra caution is required. For your
safety, replace saw chains when cutting performance
decreases.
Spiked bumper
The integral bumper spike may be used as a pivot when
making a cut. It helps to keep the body of the chainsaw
steady while cutting. When cutting, push the machine
forward until the spikes dig into the edge of the wood, then
by moving the rear handle up or down in the direction of the
cutting line it can help ease the physical strain of cutting
Guide bars
Generally, guide bars with small radius tips have somewhat
lower potential for kickback. You should use a guide bar
and matching chain which is just long enough for the job.
Longer bars increase the risk of loss of control during
6
sawing. Regularly check the chain tension. When cutting
the chain is more likely to be thrown off if the tension is
not correct.
Chain brake
Chain brakes are designed to quickly stop the chain
rotating. When the chain brake lever/hand guard is pushed
towards the bar, the chain should stop immediately. A
chain brake does not prevent kickback. It only lowers the
risk of injury should the chain bar contact the operator's
body during a kickback event. The chain brake should be
tested before each use for correct operation in both the run
and brake positions.
Chain catcher
A chain catcher prevents the saw chain from being thrown
back towards the operator if the saw chain comes loose
or breaks.
