must, in their original condition,
meet a 45° computer derived
kickback angle when equipped with
certain cutting attachments,
and must be equipped with at least
two devices to reduce the risk of
kickback injury, such as a chain
brake, low kickback chain, reduced
kickback bar, etc.
b) Saws with a displacement of
3.8 cubic inches (62 cm³) and
above
must be equipped with at least one
device designed to reduce the risk
of kickback injury, such as a chain
brake, low kickback chain, reduced
kickback bar, etc.
The computer derived angles for saws
below 3.8 cubic inches (62 cm³)
displacement are measured by applying
a computer program to test results from
a kickback test machine.
In addition, features designed to reduce
kickback injuries may lose some of their
effectiveness when they are no longer in
their original condition, especially if they
have been improperly maintained.
Compliance with § 5.11 of ANSI
B 175.1-2000 does not automatically
mean that in a real life kickback the bar
and chain will rotate at most 45°.
bar and chain combinations listed
as complying in the "Specifications"
section of the instruction manual or
other replacement bar and chain
combinations marked in
accordance with the standard for
use on the powerhead or
replacement chain designated "low
kickback saw chain."
See the section on "Low kickback saw
chain and reduced kickback bars."
Devices for Reducing the Risk of
Kickback Injury
STIHL recommends the use of the
STIHL Quickstop chain brake on your
powerhead with green labeled reduced
kickback bars and low kickback chains.
STIHL Quickstop Chain Brake
STIHL has developed a chain stopping
system designed to reduce the risk of
injury in certain kickback situations. It is
called a Quickstop chain brake.
All STIHL chain saws are equipped with
a Quickstop chain brake which can be
activated by inertia. If the forces of an
occurring kickback are sufficiently high,
the hand guard is accelerated towards
the bar nose even without hand contact.
See the chapter entitled "Chain Brake"
of your instruction manual.
Warning!
The computer derived angles of § 5.11
of ANSI B 175.1-2000 may bear no rela-
tionship to actual kickback bar rotation
angles that may occur in real life cutting
situations.
Warning!
In order for powerheads below 3.8 cubic
inches (62 cm³) displacement to comply
with the computed kickback angle
requirements of § 5.11 of ANSI
B 175.1-2000 use only the following cut-
ting attachments:
Warning!
To reduce the risk of injury, never use a
saw if the chain brake does not function
properly. Take the saw to your local
STIHL servicing dealer. Do not use the
saw until the problem has been rectified.
Warning!
Never operate your chain saw without a
front hand guard. In a kickback situation
this guard helps protect your left hand
and other parts of your body. In addition,
removal of the hand guard on a saw
equipped with a Quickstop chain brake
will deactivate the chain brake.
