There are several ways to prevent kickback. The most important thing to know is that kickback can be prevented by controlling the tip of the chainsaw, not the back of it. This is achieved by using a proper grip and stance.
Rotation kickback can be avoided if you don't touch wood with a tip of your saw.
Pull-in kickback can occur if there is something in the wood that you do not want to cut. If the blade hits something hard, it may kick back. When you feel the blade tugging, don't pull it out. Instead, turn off the instrument immediately.
Linear kickback occurs when you pinch the wood between the saw bar and the guide bar or when your saw is set to cut too deeply into the wood.
In addition, you should hold the chainsaw with both hands, make sure your arms are bent at the elbow. Guide the chainsaw to cut the wood smoothly. Don't push the chainsaw too hard.
