•
Guide Bar Scabbard - Enclosure fitted over guide bar to
prevent tooth contact when saw is not in use.
•
Kickback - The backward or upward motion, or both of the
guide bar occurring when the saw chain near the nose of
the top area of the guide bar contacts any object such as a
log or branch, or when the wood closes in and pinches the
saw chain in the cut.
Reduced Kickback Chain - A chain that complies with
•
the kickback performance requirements. (when tested on a
representative sample of chain saws)
Reduced Kickback Guide Bar - A guide bar which has
•
been demonstrated to reduce kickback significantly.
Replacement Saw Chain - A chain that complies
•
with kickback performance requirements when tested
with specific chain saws. It may not meet performance
requirements when used with other saws.
Saw Chain - A loop of chain having cutting teeth, that cut
•
the wood, and that is driven by the motor and is supported
by the guide bar.
Spiked Bumper (Spike) - The pointed tooth or teeth for
•
use when pruning to pivot the saw and maintain position
while sawing.
•
Switch - A device that when operated will complete or
interrupt an electrical power circuit to the motor of the
chain saw.
Switch Lockout - A movable stop that prevents
•
the unintentional operation of the switch until
manually actuated.
•
Trimming (Pruning) - Process of cutting limbs from a tree.
Undercut - An upward cut from underside of a log or limb.
•
This is done while in normal cutting position and cutting
with top of guide bar.
Storage
1 . Store indoors. The best storage place is one that is cool
and dry away from direct sunlight, excess heat or cold and
out of the reach of children.
2 . Always reduce the tension off the chain again after
finishing work. The chain contracts as it cools down. If
tension is not reduced, it can damage the saw.
