Reduced Kickback Symmetrical  Guide Bar
can be caused by allowing contact of the bar
tip in the danger  zone with any hard object.
Kickback can also be caused by pinching the
sawchain along the top of the guide bar. This
action may push  the guide bar rapidly back
toward the operator.  Either of  these events
may cause  you to  lose control  of  the saw
which could  result in serious injury  or even
death.  DO NOT RELY UPON ANY OF THE
DEVICES BUILT INTO  YOUR SAW.  YOU
SHOULD USE THE SAW PROPERLY AND
CAREFULLY TO  AVOID KICKBACK.   Re-
duced--kickback  guide bars  and  low--kick-
back  saw chains  reduce  the  chance  and
magnitude   of  kickback   and  are   recom-
mended. Your saw has a low kickback chain
and bar as original equipment. Repairs  on a
chain brake  should  be made by  an autho-
rized servicing dealer.  Take your unit to the
place of  purchase if purchased  from a ser-
vicing  dealer, or  to the  nearest authorized
master service dealer.

Either of these reactions may cause you to

devices built into your saw.

WARNING:
Computed  kickback
angle (CKA)listedon yoursawandlisted   inthe
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 withoutactivation
of the chain brake during  kickback. Activated
anglerepresentschain  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.
Can Obstruct Material
Not a Low---Kickback Chain
S  Front Hand Guard, designed to reduce the
chance  of your  left  hand  contacting the
chain if your hand slips off the front handle-
bar.
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.
CHAIN BRAKE AND CKA ANGLE
S  Chain Brake, designed to stop the chain in
the event of kickback.
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.
WARNING:
WE  DO  NOT REP-
RESENT  AND  YOU  SHOULD  NOT AS-
SUME  THAT  THE  CHAIN  BRAKE  WILL
PROTECT  YOU  IN  THE   EVENT  OF  A
KICKBACK.  Kickback is a lightning fast ac-
tion which throws the bar and rotating chain
back and up toward the operator.  Kickback
