KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES
WARNING: The following features
are included on your saw to help reduce
hazard of kickback; however, such fea-
tures will not totally  eliminate this dan-
ger. Do not rely only on safety devices.
S Hand Guard: designed  to reduce the
chance of  your left  hand  contacting
the chain ifyour hand slips off the front
handlebar.
S Position of front and rear handlebars:
designed with distance between han-
dles and “in-line” with each other. The
spread  and  “in-line” position  of  the
handsprovidedbythisdesign   workto-
gether to give balance and resistance
in controlling the pivot of the saw back
toward  the operator  if  kickback  oc-
curs.
S Reduced-Kickback   Guide  Bar:  de-
signed with a small radius tip whichre-
duces the size of the kickback danger
zone on the bar tip. This type bar has
been demonstrated to significantly re-
duce the number and seriousness of
kickbacks when tested in accordance
with ANSI B175.1.
Tip contact in some cases may cause
a lightning fast REACTION, kicking the
guide bar up and back toward the op-
erator.
S Pinching the saw chain along the tipof
the guide bar may push the guide bar
rapidly back towards 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 safety  devices
built into your saw.
The following guide bar  and chain com-
binations meet kickback requirements of
CSA Z62.1  &  Z62.3 and  ANSI B175.1
when used on saws listed in this manual.
Use of bar and chain combinations other
thanthoselisted  isnotrecommendedand
may not meet the CKA requirements per
standard.
