Reduced Kickback Symmetrical  Guide Bar
caused by allowing contact of the bar tip in the
danger zone with any hard  object.  Kickback
can also be caused by pinching the saw chain
along the top of the guide bar. This action may
push the guide bar rapidly back toward the op-
erator.  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.
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 autho-
rized servicing  dealer.  Take  your unit to the
place of purchase if purchased from a servic-
ing dealer, or to the nearest authorized master
service dealer.

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.

Not a Low---Kickback Chain
S  Front Hand Guard, designed to reduce the
chance of yourleft hand contacting thechain
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.
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 KICK-
BACK.
Kickback  is a  lightning  fast  action
which throws the bar and rotating chain back
and up toward the operator.  Kickback can be
