directed backwards, throwing the guide rail upwards and in the direction of
the operator. If the saw chain jams on the upper edge of the guide rail, the rail
may quickly recoil in the operator's direction.
These reactions may cause loss of control of the saw and potentially severe injuries. Do not rely
solely on the safety devices integrated into the chainsaw. As a chain saw user, you should take
various measures to work without the risk of accidents and injuries. A kickback occurs when the
electric power tool is used incorrectly or erroneously. A kickback can be prevented by taking
appropriate precautions, as described below:
• Holds the saw firmly with both hands, ensuring that your thumbs and fingers clasp the handles
on the chain saw. Move your body and arms to a position where they can withstand the
kickback forces. If appropriate measures are taken, the operator can control the kickback
forces. Never release the chain saw.
• Avoid an abnormal body posture and do not saw above shoulder height. That will prevent you
from unintentionally touching the rail tip and enable better control of the chain saw in
unexpected situations.
• Use only replacement rails and saw chains stipulated by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement rails and saw chains might cause the chain to snap and/or a kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for sharpening and servicing the saw chain. If the depth
limiter is too low, a greater tendency for a kickback occurs.
