training course to increase your awareness and
proficiency in all chainsaw operations.
n kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes

in some cases may cause a lightning-fast reverse
reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back toward
the operator. pinching the saw chain along the top
of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly
back toward the operator. either of these reactions
may cause you to lose control of the saw, which
could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely
exclusively upon the safety devices built into the saw.
as a chainsaw user, you should take every step to
keep your cutting jobs free from accident and injury.
n With a basic understanding of kickback, you can
reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. sudden
surprise contributes to accidents.
