• 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-

• Front Hand Guard, designed to reduce the
chance of your left hand contacting the chain
if your hand slips off the front haediebar,
• 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
• Chain Brake, designed to stop the chain in
the event of kickback.
_iWARNING: WE DO NOT REP-

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
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 ofthe guide bar. This action may

push the guide bar rapidly back toward the op-
erator. Either of these events may cause you
to Iose 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 deaIer, or to the nearest authorized master
service dealer.
• Tip contact in some cases may cause a light-
ning fast reverse REACTION, kicking guide
bar up and back toward operator.
• Pinching the saw chain along the top of the
guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly
back toward the operator.
• Either of these reactions may cause you to
lose control of the saw which could result in
serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon
devices built into your saw,
,_ 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 (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 without activation
of the chain brake during kickback, Activated
angle represents chain stopping time relative to
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.
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.

NOTE: If this saw is to be used for com-
mercial logging, a chain brake is required
and shall not be removed or otherwise dis-
abled to comply with Federal OSHA Regula-
tions for Commercial Logging,
