WARNING
Consequences of improper maintenance, removal
or modification of safety features like the chain
brake, ignition switch, hand guard (front and back),
spiked bumper, chain catcher, guide bar, low kick-
back saw chain may cause the safety features to not
function correctly, thus increasing the potential for
serious injury.
Low kick-back saw chain
A low-kick-back saw chain helps to reduce the possibility
of a kickback event.The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of
each cutter can minimize the force of a kick-back reaction
by preventing the cutters from digging in too deeply.
Only use replacement guide bar and chain combinations
recommended by the manufacturer.As saw chains are
sharpened, they lose some of the low kickback qualities
and extra caution is required. For your safety, replace saw
chains when cutting performance decreases.
