mcculloch chainsaw kickback gard works in reverse?

if you have your hand on the top bar where you are supposed to have it and the saw kicks back, your hand will shove the chain brake lever forward, braking the chain so yes as has been said it is working correctly.

Joe, I don't know...why are you asking for answers when it is working correctly?

As you have already been told, that is how it is supposed to work, so IT IS WORKING CORRECTLY

I think you either need to read the instruction manual sharpish or return the saw to the shop you purchased it from before you injure yourself.
