chain on the guide bar tip encounters an obstacle.
Ensure the processed material is firmly fixed.
Use clamps to fix the material.
Hold the pole saw with both hands when starting up and during operation.
During recoil the pole saw cannot be controlled and the chain is loosened.
Incorrectly sharpened chain increases risk of recoil.

undercutting the branch from the bottom may be helpful.
