• Position
offront and rear handlebars:
designed
with distance
between han-

spread and "in-line" position ofthe
hands provided
by this design work
together togive balance and resis-

• Reduced-Kickback
Guide Bar: de-
signed with asmall radius tipwhich

z one on the bar tip. This type bar
has been demonstrated
to significantly
reduce the number and seriousness
of
kickbacks when tested in accordance
with ANSI B175.1.

CHAIN BRAKE
• Chain Brake:
designed
to stop the
chain in the event of kickback.
IIWAI_NINIJ:
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
action which throws the bar and rotat-
ing chain back and up toward the op-
erator.
Kickback
can be caused by al-
lowing 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
operator.
Either ofthese
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 re-
duce 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 au-
thorized Sears Service Center. Take
your unit to the place of purchase or to
your nearest Sears Service Center.
• Tip contact in some cases may cause
a lightning 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 safety devices
built into your saw.
SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibra-
tions through prolonged use of gasoline
powered hand tools could cause blood
vessel or nerve damage in the fingers,
hands, and joints of people prone to
circulation disorders or abnormal swell-
ing. Prolonged use in cold weather has
been linked to blood vessel damage in
otherwise healthy people. If symptoms
occur such as numbness,
pain, loss of
strength, change in skin color or texture,
or loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or
