This can cause the moving chain totouch a part of the body or other objects, causinginjury or damage.• Kickback is when the end of the guide bar touchesobjects and moves rearward, up or suddenlyforward. Kickback also occurs when the wood closesin and pinches the saw chain during the cut. Loss ofcontrol can result if the product touches an object inwood.(Fig. 32)• Rotational Kickback can occur when themoving chain touches an object at the top of theguide bar. This can cause the chain to bury intothe object and cause the chain to stopimmediately. The result is a very fast, reversereaction that moves the guide bar up andrearward in the direction of the operator.(Fig. 33)• Pinch-Kickback can occur when the saw chainsuddenly stops during the cut. The wood closesin and pinches the moving saw chain along thetop of the guide bar. The sudden stop of thechain reverses the chain force and causes theproduct to move in the opposite direction of theturn of the chain. The product moves rearward inthe direction of the operator.(Fig. 34)• Pull-In can occur when the saw chain suddenlystops when the moving chain touches an objectin the wood along the bottom of the guide bar.The sudden stop pulls the product forward andaway from the operator, which can easily causethe loss of control of the product by the operator.(Fig. 35)Make sure that you understand the different forces andhow to prevent them before you operate the product.SeeTo prevent kickbacks, skating, bouncing anddropping on page 13.To prevent kickbacks, skating, bouncingand dropping• While the motor runs, make sure to hold the producttightly.
