The following features
are included on your saw to help reduce the

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 contactof thebar
tip in the danger zone with any hard object.
Kickbackcanalsobecausedby   pinchingthe
sawchainalongthetopoftheguidebar.     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 OFTHE
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 alow 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.

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 re-
duce the number and seriousness of kick-
backs  when  tested in  accordance  with
safety requirements for gasoline powered
chain saws as set by ANSI B175.1.
