KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES

WARNING:The following features are

included on your saw to help reduce the hazard

of kickback; however , such features will not to-

tally eliminate this dangerous reaction. As a

chain saw user , do not rely only on safety de-

vices. Y ou must follow all safety precautions,

instructions, and maintenance in this manual to

help avoid kickback and other forces which

can result in serious injury.

with a small radius tip which reduces the

size of the kickback danger zone on the

S Handguard, designed to reduce the

chance of your left hand contacting the

chain if your hand slips offthe front handle-

bar.

S 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.

WARNING: 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 kick-

back chain and bar as original equipment.

Repairs on a chain brake should be made by

an authorized servicing dealer . Take your

unit to the place of purchase if purchased

from a servicing dealer, or to the nearest au-

thorized m aster service dealer.
