Kickback information
WARNING:
A kickback can cause serious
injury or death to the operator or others. To
decrease the risk you must know the causes
of kickback and how to prevent them.
A kickback occurs when the kickback zone of the guide
bar touches an object. A kickback can occur suddenly
and with large force, which throws the product in the
direction of the operator.(Fig. 60)
Kickback always occurs in the cutting plane of the guide
bar. Usually, the product is thrown against the operator
but can also move in a different direction. It is how you
use the product when the kickback occurs that causes
the direction of the movement.(Fig. 61)
Kickback only occurs if the kickback zone of the guide
bar touches an object. Do not let the kickback zone
touch an object.(Fig. 60)
A smaller bar tip radius decreases the force of the
kickback.
Use a low kickback saw chain to decrease the effects of
kickback. Do not let the kickback zone touch an object.
WARNING: No saw chain fully prevents
kickback. Always obey the instructions.
To use the cutting technique
WARNING: Use full power when you cut and
decrease the speed to idle speed after each
cut.
CAUTION: Do not let the motor operate for
too long without load. This can cause
damage to the motor.
1. Put the trunk on a saw horse or runners. (Fig. 62)
WARNING: Do not cut trunks in a pile.
That increases the risk of kickback and
can cause serious injury or death.
2. Remove the cut pieces from the work area.
WARNING: Cut pieces in the work area
increase the risk of kickback and that
you cannot keep your balance.
To cut a trunk on the ground
1. Cut through the trunk on the pull stroke. Keep full
power but be prepared for sudden accidents. (Fig.
63)
WARNING: Make sure that the saw
chain does not touch the ground when
you complete the kerf.
2. Cut approximately ⅔ through the trunk and then
stop. Turn the trunk and cut from the opposite side.
(Fig. 64)
To cut a trunk that has support on one end
WARNING:
Make sure that the trunk does
not break during cutting. Obey the
instructions below.
(Fig. 65)
