KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES
WARNING:
The following features
are included on your saw to help reduce the
hazard of kickback; however, such features will
not totally eliminate this dangerous reaction.
As a chain saw user, do not rely only on safety
devices. You must follow all safety precau-
tions, instructions, and maintenance in this
manual to help avoid kickback and other forces
which can result in serious injury.
S Reduced- -Kickback Guide Bar, designed
with a small radius tip which reduces the
size of the kickback danger zone on the
bar tip. A Reduced- -Kickback Guide Bar has
been demonstrated to significantly reduce
the number and seriousness of kickbacks.

Low-Kickback Chain
Contoured Depth Gauge
S Handguard, designed to reduce the chance
of your left hand contacting the chain if your
hand slips off the front handlebar.
S Position of front and rear handlebars, de-
signed with distance between handles and
"in-line" with each other. The spread and
"in-line" position of the hands provided by
this design work together to give balance
and resistance in controlling the pivot of
the saw back toward the operator if kick-
back occurs.
WARNING:
ANY OF THE DEVICES BUILT INTO YOUR
SAW. YOU SHOULD USE THE SAW
PROPERLY AND CAREFULLY TO AVOID
KICKBACK. Reduced- -kickback guide bars
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 brake should be made by an au-
thorized servicing dealer. Take your unit to
the place of purchase if purchased from a
servicing dealer, or to the nearest authorized
master service dealer.
S Tip contact in some cases may cause a light-
ning fast reverse REACTION, kicking the
guide bar up and back toward the operator.
S Pinching the saw chain along the top 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 the safety devices built into your saw.
