8 Battery Safety

WARNING
￭ Pushback occurs when the chain on the top of the bar is
suddenly stopped or significantly slowed when it is
pinched, caught or encounters a foreign object in the
wood. The reaction of the chain may drive the pole pruner
rapidly straight back toward the operator.
￭ Pushback usually occurs when the top of the bar is used
for cutting.
￭ To reduce the risk of pushback:
– Be alert to forces or situations that may cause
material to pinch or bind the top of the bar.
– Do not cut more than one limb at a time.
– Do not twist the bar when withdrawing it from an
underbuck cut because the chain can pinch or bind.
