Only a sharp chain protects from overload. Is the kickback brake deactivated and its function ensured?­ Are you wearing the necessary protective equipment?Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Further protective equipment for head, hand, legs and feet is recommend. Adequate protective clothing will reduce personal injury by flying debris or accidental contact with saw chain. D Kickback Kickback is the sudden backward/upward motion of the chain saw, occuring when the chain (at the tip of the chain bar) comes in contact with a log or wood, or when the chain becomes jammed. When kickback occurs the chainsaw reacts unpredicably and can cause severe injuries to the operator or bystanders.
