CONTROLLING KICKBACK by Lloyd Tuggl
KICKBACK may happen when the nose or tip of the moving chain touches an object while the saw is
operating. This contact may abruptly STOP the cutting action and in some cases may cause a lightning
fast reverse REACTION, kicking the saw tip up or down and back. KICKBACK has caused some
operators to lose control of the saw. The cutting chain can then cause serious injury if it comes in
contact with any part of the body.
As a chain saw user you can take several steps to avoid an accident or injury due to kickback.
1. By simply UNDERSTANDING and knowing about kick-
back you take out the element of SURPRISE. It's the
SURPRISE that really contributes to accidents.
2. Make sure your HAND GUARD is securely fastened to the
handlebar AT ALL TIMES.
3. Make sure the area in which you are cutting is FREE
FROM OBSTRUCTIONS such as other trees, branches,
rocks, fences, stumps, etc. Eliminate or’avoid any obstruc
tions that your saw chain could hit while you are cutting
through a particular log or branch.
4. Keep a good firm grip on-the saw with BOTH hands. (Left
hand completely around the front handlebar with thumb
under and the right hand completely around the rear
handle.) A FIRM GRIP can neutralize kickback and help
you maintain control of the saw. DON'T LET GO.
Your Poulan chain saw is a reliable and powerful cutting toot.
Please use it safely and carefully so that each cutting job is
SUCCESSFUL AND SAFE. Controlling kickback is really a
partnership between you and Poulan. GOOD CUTTING.
