2.3.2 OVERLOAD PROTECTION. Overloading (e.g. blocking of the cutting blade, blade teeth jammed) causes the machine to stop and the overload protector will be activated. 2.3.3 KICKBACK. (See Fig. 2) Kickback is the sudden backward/upward motion of the chain saw, occurring when the chain (at the tip of the chain bar) comes in contact with a log or wood, or when the chain becomes jammed.
The chain must be running at full speed before it makes contact with the wood. Use the metal gripping teeth to secure the saw onto the wood before starting to cut. Use the gripping teeth (12) as a leverage point while cutting. (See Fig.3b) Reset the gripping teeth at a low point when sawing thicker logs by pulling the chain saw slightly backwards until the gripping teeth release, and reposition at lower level to continue sawing.
Position and set short logs safety prior to sawing. Only saw wood or wooden objects. When sawing, always take care to avoid hitting stones, nails, etc, as these could be thrown up or cause damage to the chain or serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
horizontal notching cut. Keep the felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut. Make the felling back cut so enough wood is left to act as a hinge. The hinge wood keeps the tree from twisting and falling in the wrong direction. Do not cut through the hinge.
