Kickback Safety Features
Warning: The following features are included on your Pole Saw
to help reduce the hazard of kickback; however such features will
not totally eliminate this dangerous reaction. As a chain saw user do
not rely only on safety devices. You must follow all safety
precautions, instructions, and maintenance in this manual to help
avoid kickback and other forces which can result in serious injury.
• Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar, designed with a small radius tip
which reduces the size of the kickback danger zone on bar tip. A
reduced- kickback guide bar is one which has been demonstrated
to significantly reduce the number and seriousness of kickbacks
when tested in accordance with safety requirements for electric
chain saws.
• 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. A low-kickback chain is a chain which has met
kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1 when tested
on the representative sample of chain saws.
