Kickback
is a common cause of injury associated with chainsaws. Kickback occurs when the
chain around the end of the bar contacts a hard object (such as a knothole) or
when the teeth of the saw are pinched in the wood. This kicks the saw backward
and upward, rapidly, where it can strike you.
To
reduce kickback: Do not cut with the upper section of the bar. Insert the saw
fully. When cutting, always stand at an angle, with a firm balance on the
ground or branch, so that if the saw kicks back, it will avoid your neck and
head. Make sure your saw has an anti-kickback device.
- The top front of the bar is the area prone to kick-back.
- Always keep this in mind.
- No other part of the saw will work so hard to get you!

It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d certainly donate to this brilliant blog! I suppose for now I’ll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account.
