GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK,. "

Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead t0

serious injury. Do not rely only on the safety devices

provided withyoursaw. As a chain saw user, you must

take special safety precautions to help keep your

cutting Jobs free from accident or injury.

_k KICKBACK WARNING

Klokb_.k can Qccur when the moving chain contacts

an obj_"t atthe upperportion of the tip of the guidebar

or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain

in the cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tipof the

gutde bar can cause the chainto dig intothe object and

stop the chain for an instant. The result is a lightning

fast, reverse reaction which kicks the guide barupand

back toward the operator. If the saw chain is pinched

"along lhe top of the guide bar,.the guide,bar can be

drivenrapidly back towardthe operator. Either of these

reactionscan cause loss of saw cont,_ wh}ch can

result in serious injury.

KtCKBACK

PATH

Figure I

REDUCE THE GHANCE OF KICKBACK

1. Recognize that kickback can happen. With a basic

understandingof kickback, youcan reduce the ele.

ment of surprise which contributesto accidents.

2. Never let the moving chain contact any object at

the tip of th e guide bar. Figure 1.

• 3. Keep the working area free from Obstructions

such as otherlrees,_brenches, rocks, fences,

stumps, etc. Figure 2. Eliminate or avoid any

obstructionthat your saw chain couldhit while you

are cutting through a particular log or branch.

4. Keep your saw chain sharp and properly

tensioned. A loose or dull chain can increase the

chance of kickback. 'Follow manufacturer's chain

sharpening and maintenance instructions.Check

tension at_tegolar intervalswiththe motor stopped,

neverwiththe motorrunning.Makesurethatbarclamp

nulsaresecurelytightened aftertensioning the chain,

5_Begin and continue cutting only with the chain

moving at full speed. If the chain is moving at a

slower speed, there is greater chancefor kickback

tO OCCU _" ,r

6. Cut one log at a time.

7. Use extreme caution when reentering a previous

cut.

8. Do not attempt plunge or bore cuts.

9. Watchforshiftinglogsorotherforcesthatcould

close a cut and pinch or fall intothe chain.

,10, Use the Reduced.Kic.kback Guide Bar and Low-

Kickback Chain specified fol"your saw.

3. Stand with your weight evenly balanced on both

feet,

4. Stand slightly to the left side of the saw, to keep

ymarbody from being in adirect fine with the cut-

ring chain. Figure 3.

5. Do not overreach. Youcouldbe drawn orthrownoff

balance and lose control of the saw.

6, Do not cut above shoulder height, it is difficult to

maintain control of the saw above shoulder heighL

AVOID REACTIVE FORCES

Pinch.Kickback and Pull-in occur when the chain is . -._-:

suddenly stopped by being pinched, caught, or by

contacting a foreign object in the wood. Thisresultsin

reversal of the chain forcebeing usedto cut wood and

causes the sawto move in the opposite directionofchain

rotation. Pinch-Kickback drives the saw straight back

toward the operator,pull-in pulls the saw away from the

TYPES OF CUTTING

Ill IlnnIn iiiiiiiiiiiilllt_ 1111111111/ [I lan i II .I

A. BASIC CUTTING TECHNIQUE

).' IMPORTANT POINTS

a. Cut wood only. Do not cut metat, plastics,

masonry,non-woodbuildingmaterials,etc.Donot

use yoursawto pryorshoveawaylimbs,rootsor

otherobjects_

b. Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign

object. Inspectthe untand repairorreplaceparts

as neoessary. ..

c.- Keepthechsin outofdirt andsand. IEvenasmal!

amount of dirt wfl! quickly dull a chain, which

increases the possibilityof kickback.

',_ KICKBACKWARNING

Klokback can ocGur when the moving chain contacts

an object at the upper portion ofthe tipof the guide bar

orwhen the wood doses in aridpinches theSawchain

Inthe cut. Contact at the upperponion of the tip of the

guidebar can cause the chain to dlg In_ the oh,lootand

stop the chain for an instant. The result is alightning

fast, reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar up and

back totmrd the operator. If the saw chain is pinched

Mong the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be

"driven re#idly back toward the operator, FJtherof these

reactions can cause loss of saw control which can

result in serious injury.

2, UNDERSTAND REACTIVE FORCES

•Plnch-Kicld)ack and Pull-in occur when the chain

is suddenly stopped by being pinched, caught,

-or bycontacting a foreign object in the wood. This=

PROCEDURE .

Practicecutting a fewsmall logs usingthe following

technique to get the "feel" Ofusingyoursaw before

you begin a major sawing operation

a. Assumethe propercutUng stance described In

the section "Special Safety Section," page 3,

•"-- firm grip on front and rear handles, weight

evenly balanced on both feet;, and body

slightly to the left side of the saw.

b. Make sure the.extep_sion cord.is completly

away from the saw and your body so the cord

cannot be cut or becomewrapped around your

•feet or legs. ,

c. Press the trigger to start the chain moving

before beginning the cut.

Begin cutting with the saw frame and spikes

against the log. Figure 17.

Allow the chain to cut for you. Exert only light

downward pressure. If youforcethe cut, damage

to the bar, chain or motor can result.

Donor put pressure on the saw at the end of

the cUt to_avoidlosing control When the cut is

_omptete,

g. Release the trigger switch as soon as the Cut

Is completeo,

I. PLAN YOUR SAWING OPERATION CAREFULLY

IN ADVANCE d.

a. Clear the work ares. Youneed aclear area all

around the tree where you can have sectJre

footing.

b. Study the natural conditions that can cause

the tree to fall in a particular direction.

1.)The WIND directionandspeed.

2._The LEAN ofthe tree.

3.)WEIGHTED wfthBRANCHES on oneside.

4.)Surrounding TREES and OBSTACLES.

:c. Look for decay and rot. If the trunk is rotted, it

can snap and fall towardtheoperator.

fall on youwhile cutting.

e. Make sure there is enough room for the tree to

fall. Maintaina distanceof21/2tree lengths fromthe

nearest person orother objects. Motornoise can

drown outwarning call.

t. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples,

and wire from the tree where cuts are to be

made.

g. Plan to stand on the up-hill side whencutting on

a Slope. Figure 17.

h, Plan a clear retreat path to the rear and diagonal

2. FELLING SMALL TREES-- LESS THAN 6"

IN DIAMETER

a_ tfyouknow thedirectionoffell:

"1.) Make a singlefelling cut on the side away

fromthe directionof fall

2.) Cut a!lthe waythrough..

3.) Stop the saw, put it down, and get away

quicklyonyour planned retreatpath.

b. If you are notsure which way the tree will fall,

use the notch method described for felling

large trees.

• .,AWARNING ._ _- :_ .

Do not cut • tree in any manner that would en-

danger people, cause property damage, or strike

e utility llne. Notify the utlllty company im-

mediately If a tree makes any contact with autillty

llne. .j

:3. FELLING LARGE TREES w6" DIAMETER

OR MORE

The notch method is used to cut large trees. A

notch is cut on the Side of the free in the desired

direction of fall. After a felling cut is made on the

opposite side of the tree, the tree.will tend to fall

into the n0tch: • "

NOTE: If the tree has large buttress roots, re-

move before making the notch. Cut into the but-

tresses vertically,then horizontally. Figure 19.

•e. Make the notchcut. Figure 20.

• 1.)- Cut the bottom of the o.otch first,,through

!/3 ofthediameter ofthe tree.

2.) Complete 1he notch by making the slant

C. BUCKING

•Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen

tree to the desired log size,

1. IMPORTANT POINTS

a. Cutonlyonelog atatime.

b• Cut shattered wood very carefully. Sharp

pieces of wood could be flung toward the

operator•

C. Use a sawhorse to cut small logs. Never

,allow an.other-personto hold the log while cut-

ting and neverhold the logwithyourlegoHoOt.

d•- Do not cutin an area where logs, limbs and

roots are tangled such as in a blown down

area. Drag the logsintoaclear area before cut-

ting by pulling out exposed and cleared logs

first.

e, Make the first bucking cut 1/3 of the way

through the log and finish witha 2/3 cut on the

opposite side, Figures22, 25 and26. Asthe log

is being cut, it will tend to _<md.The saw can

become pinched or hung in the log if you make

the firstcut deeper than 1/3of the diameter of the

log.

f. Give special.attentionto.logs under strain

to prevent the saw from pinching. Make'the

first cut on the pressureside to relieve the

,. stress on the log, Figure 22.

2. TYPES OF CUTTING USED :(Figure23)

Overoutting - begin on the topside of the log

with the.bottom of .the saw .agafnst !he log;

exert lightpressure downward.

mUndercutting - begin on the under,sideof the

log withthe topof the saw againstthe log;exed

light pressure upward. During undercutting,

the saw wilt tend to pushback at you, Be pre-

pared for.this reactionand hold the saw firmly

tOmaintbir)c0ntrol,

1......w...,.o ]

Never turn the saw upside down to undercut. The

.. saw cannot be Controlled in this positio n.

_WARNING

If saw becomes pinched or hung tn a log, don't try to

force it out. You could lose control of the saw resulting

in personal Injury and/or damage to the saw. Stop the

saw and drive awedge of plastic orwood Intothe cut until

sawDan be removed easily. Figure 24. Restart the saw

and oarefully reenter the out, To avoid kickback and

chethdamage, do not usea metal wedge. Donotattempt

to restart your saw when it Is pinched or hung Ina log.

3. BUCKING _WITHOUT A SUPPORT

a. Overcutwith at/3 diameter cut,
