18、O 9518:1998 BSI 06-1999 1 Introduction The movement of a chain-saw during kickback can be simulated by a mathematical model. Through application of engineering principles, vertical, horizontal and rotational components of the chain-saws movement are predicted. The model is presented in this Internat
19、ional Standard in the form of a computer program which predicts the peak position of the chain-saw, upward and backward towards the user. This is called the “computed kickback angle” and is illustrated in Figure 1. The computer program uses standard engineering force-motion equations to predict the
20、path of the saw based on kickback energy, physical characteristics of the chain-saw and simulated operator reaction forces. User reaction forces were determined through analysis of high-speed motion pictures of actual hand-held kickbacks. 1) Input data for the computer program is obtained from physi
21、cal measurements and from kickback energy tests performed on a completely assembled chain-saw including powerhead, guide bar and saw chain. Kickback energy of a chain-saw is measured on a apparatus (called the kickback machine) developed specifically for this purpose. Kickbacks are generated by deli
22、vering the flat surface of a fibreboard test specimen into contact with the bar tip under controlled conditions. This apparatus and standardized specimen have been found to yield a realistic measurement of kickback energy of any specific saw/bar/chain combination. The test procedure requires testing
23、 over a range of conditions to ensure that peak kickback energy for the particular saw/bar/chain combination on test is determined. When the rotating parts of a chain-saw are stopped by a chain brake, a moment is generated that tends to reduce the kickback angle. The procedure accounts for this effe
24、ct. Annex A is a flow diagram of the computer program used to determine the computed kickback angle. Annex B contains a BASIC language program (complete with examples) to make these computations 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the methodology for determining the kickback potential of a
25、 gasoline-powered chain-saw, complete with guide bar and saw chain. This International Standard has been demonstrated to be an accurate method of measurement for evaluating computed kickback angles and energy associated with chain-saw kickback for chain-saws with engine capacity up to80cm 3 . It is
26、not intended to evaluate chain-saws with an engine capacity of above80cm 3 . Furthermore, because of physical size limitations of the kickback machine, testing of units with guide bar cutting length in excess of63cm is not recommended. NOTEAlthough this International Standard is applicable to gasoli
27、ne-powered chain-saws, the kickback machine and test procedure ought to be also suitable for testing of electric powered chain-saws. To aid in application of this test method to electric powered units, some instructions are included in this document that relate specifically to electric chain-saws. 2

This takes place under controlled conditions in apparatus designed to me
38、asure the magnitude of rotary and horizontal energies generated during the resulting kickback reaction. A step-by-step search, covering a range of critical test conditions, determines the peak energy values to be used in computing kickback angle. This peak value is intended to simulate the most seve
39、re conditions reasonably expected to be encountered by typical users. Since there may be some variability, several impacts are made under each set of conditions and the results averaged. NOTETest parameters such as approach speed, engine speed, shape and type of test materials have been established
40、to permit consistent evaluation of a wide range of cutting attachment and type of power head and to simulate kickback situations found in actual practice. Other test parameters will lead to different computed kickback angles. 4.2 Materials Test samples, consisting of medium-density fibreboard (densi
41、ty range732kg/m 3 32kg/m 3 ). Samples shall be oriented with the rough side (end grain) facing the bar tip. Standard test samples are38mm 38mm 250mm. At the discretion of the test laboratory, specimens with depth (measured perpendicular to the test face) up to76mm may be used. NOTEBecause kickback e
42、nergy measurements are sensitive to the consistency of the fibreboard, careful control of these specimens is essential. In order for test results to be reproducible over time and for comparisons with results from other laboratories, the test specimens need to be calibrated against “known” specimens.
43、 Calibration requires kickback testing with samples from batch lots using a “standard” saw/chain/bar combination for which the kickback energies have been established. A calibration factor can then be applied to the energy values before they are used in the computer model. 4.3 Apparatus 4.3.1 Chain-
