dicate more angle and higher kick e nergies.
Computed angl es represented indicate total
energy and angle associated without activation
of the chain brake during kickback. Activated
angle representschain stoppingtime relativeto
activation angle of chain break and resulting
kick angle of saw . In all cases lower CKA val-
ues represent a safer operating environment
for the user .
The following guid e bar and chain combina-
tions meet kickback requirements of CSA
Standards Z62.1, Z62.3, & ANSI B175.1 when

where such regulations exist, you are legally
responsible for maintaining the operating
condition of these parts. Failure to do so is a
violation of the law. Refer to the SERVICE
