KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES
a WARNING! The following features are
included on your saw to help reduce the
hazard of kickback; however, such features
will not totally eliminate this danger.
As a chainsaw user, do not rely only on
safety devices. You must follow all safety
precautions, instructions, and maintenance
in this manual to help avoid kickback and
other forces which can result in serious
injury.
REDUCED KICKBACK GUIDE BAR
The reduced-kickback guide bar is designed with a
small radius tip which reduces the size of the kickback
danger zone on the bar tip.
LOW-KICKBACK CHAIN
A low-kickback chain is designed with a contoured
force and allow wood to gradually ride into the cutter.
a WARNING: If received assembled, repeat
all steps to ensure your saw is properly
assembled and all fasteners are secure.
Always wear gloves when handling the
chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you
even when it is not moving!
REMOVING THE CLUTCH COVER
NOTE: Chain brake must be unlocked before
clutch cover can be removed or reinstalled on the
chain saw. To unlock chain brake, pull the front
hand guard back toward the front handle as far as
1. Check that the chain brake is in the unlocked
position by pulling the front hand guard towards
the front handle.
2. Loosen and remove guide bar retaining
knob completely by lifting lever and turning
counterclockwise.
3. Remove clutch cover.

FRONT HAND GUARD
The front hand guard is designed to reduce the
chance of your left hand contacting the chain if your
hand slips off the front handlebar.
The distance and "in-line" position of the hands
provided by the front and rear handles work together
to give balance and resistance in controlling the
pivot of the saw back toward the operator if kickback
occurs.
CHAIN BRAKE
The chain brake is designed to stop the chain in the
event of kickback.
NOTE: We do not represent and you should not
assume that the chain brake will protect you in the
event of a kickback. Do not rely upon any of the
devices built into your saw. You should use the saw
properly and carefully to avoid kickback.
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 authorized master service dealer.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: If clutch cover can not be easily removed
from the chain saw, ensure chain brake is unlocked
by pulling the front hand guard back toward the
front handle as far as possible.

ATTACHING THE BUMPER SPIKE
(if not already attached)
The bumper spike may be used as a pivot when
making a cut. Attach the bumper spike with the two
screws as illustrated.
ATTACHING THE GUIDE BAR
(If not already attached)
An adjusting pin and chain tensioning ring is used to
adjust the tension of the chain. It is very important
when assembling the bar that the adjusting pin
located on the adjusting screw aligns into a hole in
the bar. Turning the chain tensioning ring will move
the adjusting pin up and down the screw. Locate this
adjusting pin before you begin mounting the bar onto
the saw. See following illustration.
