Chain catcher
The chain catcher serves to catch a torn saw
chain or one which has jumped out of the
guide. Through regular maintenance of the
saw bar and correct and regular tensioning of
the saw chain, accidents of this type can be
prevented.
Rear hand guard
The rear hand guard serves to protect the
hand against a jumped chain and disturbing
branches and twigs.
