WORKING TECHNIQUES

What is kickback?

The word kickback is used to describe the sudden
reaction that causes the chainsaw and bar to jump off an
object when the upper quadrant of the tip of the bar,
known as the kickback zone, touches an object.
Kickback always occurs in the cutting plane of the bar.
Normally the chainsaw and bar are thrown backwards
and upwards towards the user. However, the chainsaw
may move in a different direction depending on the way it
was being used when the kickback zone of the bar
touched the object.
Kickback only occurs if the kickback zone of the bar
touches an object.
