Optimum sawing is achieved if the chain speed remains constant during
cutting.
10. Be careful when reaching the end of the cut. The weight of the product may
change unexpectedly as it cuts free from the wood. This can cause
accidents to the legs and feet. Always remove the product from a wood cut
while the product is running.
11. Check that the oil feed to the chain is operating correctly; run the chain saw
at medium speed and ensure that the chain has received a consistent
coating of oil.

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! Always be alert because
rotational kickback and pinch kickback are major product
operational dangers and the leading cause of most accidents!
Kickback may occur if the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or if
wood pinches the saw chain in the cut.
In some cases, contact with the tip of the guide bar (8) may cause a lightning-fast
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back toward the operator (Figs. 28
- 30).
