I have read the "safety standard" below, but don't understand it.
Does it mean that a saw with a low kickback bar and low kickback chain will only kick back up into the air 45 degrees maximum (in the worst case situation)?
And that if it were to kickback say 90 degrees, it would be hitting you if you were standing behind the saw rather than to the side?
And does this 45 degree maximum kickback potential standard apply to electric chainsaws with low kickback chains and bars as well?
Safety Standard...
["The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission points out that key features of the voluntary standard include a test for measuring the kickback potential of chain saws and the establishment of a maximum computed kickback angle limit of 45 degrees for gasoline-powered chain saws under 3.8 CID."]
