kickback when working with the
product. There is a risk of personal
injury. You can avoid kickbacks by

Tip contact in some cases may
cause a sudden reverse reaction,
kicking the guide bar up and back
to ards the operator ( ig. ).
Pinching the saw chain along the
top of the guide bar may push the
guide bar rapidly back towards the
operator ( ig. ).
Either of these reactions may cause
you to lose control of the saw which
could result in serious personal
injury. Do not rely exclusively upon
the safety devices built into your
saw. As a chain saw user, you should
take several steps to keep your
cutting jobs free from accident or
injury.
