Kickback Safety Features
Guard against kickback. Kickback is the upward motion of the guide
bar that occurs when the saw chain, at the nose of the guide bar,
contacts an object. Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of
the chain saw.
Z_WARNING: The following features are included on your Alligator
Lopper
TM
to help reduce the hazard of kickback; however such
features wilt 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.
Top Jaw - This has been designed specifically to cover the tip of the
chain bar where the danger zone for kickback occurs. In the event
of any kickback the guard also helps reduce the risk of the chain
coming into contact with the operator.
