Saw Kickback

Fortunately I have not experienced circular saw kickback or chain saw. *I have read about it and I am wondering how strong it is, though. *I know the answer probably depends on the HP of the saw, the material being cut, user posture and strength, etc. *Is the force imparted so strong that a reasonably healthy guy would still be able to hold onto the saw (with two hands) or does the saw simply go flying out of your hands? Thanks, Tim Chainsaw kickback: One _can_ stop one before the chain hits you but only if you have a firm hold on the saw and are braced. I have had several over the past 30 years and, so far, have not came close to getting cut. I lay that down to luck though. A kickback with a chainsaw is both VICIOUS and SUDDEN! You have no time to react. Bore cuts: Not bad if you understand the dynamics. The saw will kick back if the top quadrant of the nose contacts something, therefore start a bore cut with the bottom half of the nose, git it well into the log and then rotate the saw straight while pushing. You won't get a kickback after the nose is buried as it is held by uncut wood - you will, however get a 'push back' if you let the top of the bar contact uncut wood - that is controllable though.
