[QUOTE="mdavlee, post: 2403312, member: 23776"] Anytime the kerf above the bar starts closing on you the top of the bar can catch it and push the saw out into you. Limbing and reaching the tip too far and hitting something with the top half of it will throw the bar tip upward back at you. Pay attention to the tip and what's real close to it. When starting a bore cut if you put the bar straight in right away will make it more susceptible to kickback. When you start a bore cut let the bottom of the bar start into the tree far enough to start pulling the saw into it and then straighten the bar up a little. [/QUOTE]
