Rotational Kickback can occur when the
moving chain contacts an objectat theup-
per tip of the guide bar. This  contact can
cause  the chain  to  dig into  the  object,
which stops the chain for an instant. The
result is a lightning fast, reverse reaction
which kicks the guide bar up and back to-
ward the operator.
