KICKBACK SAFETY DEVICES
ON THIS SAW

CHAIN BRAKE

The chain saw comes equipped with a
chain brake, which stops both the motor
and the motion of the chain when
kickback occurs (Fig 4) The chain brake
can be activated by the forward motion
of the hand guard as the saw rotates
backward during kickback; it can also be
activated by the inertial forces generated
during rapid pushback
FIG. 4
DANGER: NEVER MODIFY OR
ATTEMPT TO DISABLE THE CHAIN
BRAKE.
CHAIN
This saw comes equipped with a saw
chain that met the reduced kickback
requirements of ANSI B175 1 when tested
on a representative sample of chain saws
For replacement chain, see "Specifications
and Components" in this manual
BAR
This saw comes equipped with a guide
bar that has a small radius nose Small
radius noses generally have less potential
for kickback
When replacing the bar, be sure to order
the bar listed in this manual
