S Low--Kickback Chain, designed with a
contoured depth gauge and guard link
which deflect kickback force and allow
wood to gradually rideintothe cutter.Low--
Kickback Chain has met kickback per-
formance requirements when tested on a
representative sample of chain saws be-
low 3.8 cubic inch displacement specified
in ANSI B175.1.

S Front Hand Guard, designed to reduce the
chance of your left hand contacting t he chain
if your hand slips of f the front handlebar.
S Position of front and rear handlebars, de-
signed with distancebetween handlesand
“in-line” with each other. The spread and
“in-line” position of the hands provided by
this de sign work together to give balance
and resistance in controlling the pivot of
the saw back toward the operator if kick-
back occurs.
CHAIN BRAKE AND CKA ANGLE
S Chain Brake, designedto stop the chain in
the event of kickback.
WARNING: WE DO NOT REP-
RESENT AND YOU SHOULD NOT AS-
SUME THAT THE CHAIN BRAKE WILL
PROTEC T YOU IN THE EVENT OF A K I CK-
BACK. Kickback is a lightning fast action
which throws the bar and rotating chain back
and up t oward the operator . Kickback can be
caused by allowing contact of the bar tip in the
danger zone with any hard object. Kickback
canalsobecausedbypinchingthesawchain
along the top of the guide bar. This action may
push the guide bar rapidly b ack toward the op-
erator. Either of these events m ay cause you
to lose control of the saw which could result in
serious injury o r even death. DO NOT REL Y
UPON ANY OF THE DEVICE S BUILT INT O
YOUR SA W. YOU SHOULD U SE THE SA W
PROPERL Y AND CAREFULLY T O AVOID
KICKBACK. Redu ced--kickback guide b ars
and low--kickback saw chains reduce the
chance and magnitude of kickback and are
recommended. Your saw has a low kickback
chain and bar as original equipment. Repairs
on a chain b rake should b e made by an autho-
rized servicing dealer . Take your unit to the
place of purchase if purchased from a servic-
ing dealer , or to the nearest authorized m aster
service dealer .
S Tipcontact in some cases may cause a light-
ning fast reverse REACTION, kicking guide
bar up and back toward operator.
S Pinching the saw chain along the t op of the
guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly
back toward the operator.
S Either of these reactions may cause you to
lose control of the saw which could result in
serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon
devices built into your saw.
WARNING: C omputed kickback
angle (CKA) listed on your saw and listed in the
CKA table below represents angle of kickback
your bar and chain combinations will have
when tested in accordance with CSA (Cana-
dian Standards Association) and ANSI stan-
dards. When purchasing replacement bar and
chain, considerations should be given to the
lower CKA values. Lower CKA values repre-
sent safer angles to the user , higher values in-
dicate more angle and higher kick energies.
Computed angles represented indicate total
energy and angle associated without activation
of the chain brake during kickback. Activated
angle represents chain stopping time relative to
activation angle o f chain br eak and r esulting
kick angle of saw . In all cases lower CKA val-
ues represent a safer operating environment
for the user .
The following guide bar and chain combina-
tions meet kickback requirements of CSA
Standards Z62.1, Z62.3, & ANSI B175.1
when used on saws listed in this manual.
Use of bar and chain combinations other
than those listed is not recommended and
may not meet the CKA requirements per
standard.
