2.3 Förebyggande av bakslag

Kickback can occur when the moving chain contacts an object at the upper tip of the guide bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the chain in the cut. To avoid kickback:

• Håll ett fast grepp med båda händerna på motorsågens handtag.
• Räck inte över eller klipp över axelhöjd.
• Var medveten om svärdets spetsposition.
• Se till att kedjebromsen fungerar och är aktiverad när du inte sågar.
