EUNDERSTANDING YOUR CHAIN SAW SAFETY DEVICES LOW KICKBACK SAW
CHAIN
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter can minimize the force of a kickback reaction by
preventing the cutters from digging in too deeply at the kickback zone. Only use replacement chain
that is equivalent to original chain or has been certified as low kickback chair.
As saw chains are sharpened during their useful life, they lose some of the low kickback qualities and
extra caution should be used.
GUIDE BARS
Generally, guide bars with small radius tips have somewhat lower kickback potentials.
