2001 Poulan Pro 295 Chainsaw Owners Manual

Reduced Kickback Symmetrical  Guide 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.

S  Low--Kickback  Chain,  designed   with  a
contoured  depth  gauge   and  guard  link
which  deflect  kickback  force  and  allow
wood to gradually ride into the 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  Tip contact in  some cases  may cause a
lightning fast reverse REACTION, kicking
the guide bar up and back toward the oper-
ator.

Either of these reactions may cause you to

WARNING:
Computed  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 (Canadian Standards Association) and
ANSI standards. When purchasing replace-
ment bar  and chain, considerations  should
be given  to  the lower  CKA  values. Lower
CKA values  represent  safer  angles to  the
user, higher values indicate more angle and
higher kick energies. Computed angles rep-
resented  in the non-activated   column indi-
cate total energy and angle associated with-
out  activation   of  the  chain  brake   during
kickback. Activated  angle represents  chain
stopping time  relative to activation  angle of
chain brake and resulting kick angle of saw.
In all  cases lower CKA  values 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.
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
can be caused by allowing contact of the bar
The following guide bar and chain combina-
tions  meet kickback  requirements  of  CSA
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.
