Kickback may occur when the nose

or tip of the guide bar touches an

object, or when the wood closes in

and pinches the saw chain in the

cut. Tip contact in some cases may

cause a lightning fast reverse

reaction, kicking the guide bar up

and back towards the operator.

Pinching the saw chain along the

top of the guide bar may push the

guide bar rapidly back towards the

operator. Either of these reactions

may cause you to lose control of the

saw which could result in serious

personal injury.

Section 5.12 of ANSI B 175.1-1991

sets certain performance and

design criteria related to chainsaw

kickback. STIHL has developed a

color code system using green and

yellow to help you select a power-

head, bar and chain combination

that complies with the kickback

requirements of the ANSI Standard.

See the sections entitled "Safety

Precautions" and "Specifications"

of this manual.

Do not rely exclusively upon the

safety devices built into your saw.

As a chainsaw user, you should

take several steps to keep your

cutting jobs free from accident or

injury.

1. With a basic understanding of

kickback, you can reduce or eli-

minate the element of surprise.

Sudden surprise contributes to

accidents.

2. Keep a good firm grip on the

saw with both hands, the right

hand on the rear handle,

and the left hand on the front

handle, when the engine is run-

ning. Use a firm grip with

thumbs and fingers encircling

the chainsaw handles.

A firm grip will help you reduce

kickback and maintain control

of the saw.

Don’t let go.

3. Make sure the area in which you

are cutting is free from obstruc-

tions. Do not let the nose of the

guide bar contact a log, branch,

or any other obstruction while

you are operating the saw.

4. Cut at high engine speeds.

5. Do not overreach or cut above

shoulder height.

6. Follow manufacturer’s

sharpening and maintenance

instructions for the saw chain.

7. Only use replacement bars and

chains specified by the manu-

facturer or the equivalent.

8. Reduced kickback bars and low

kickback chains are designed

to reduce the risk of kickback

injury. Ask your STIHL dealer

about these devices.

1. Do QRW operate a chainsaw with

one hand! Serious injury to the

operator, helpers, bystanders,

or any combination of these

persons may result from one-

handed operation. A chainsaw

is intended to be used with two

hands.

2. Do not operate a chainsaw when

you are fatigued.

3. Use safety footwear; snug-fitting

clothing; protective gloves; and

eye, hearing, and head protect-

ion devices.
