CHAIN SAW SAFETY FEATURES

Bow Guide Bars
# WARNING
Bow guide bars are capable of severe kickback. Only
thoroughly instructed and experienced operators
should use a chain saw equipped with a bow guide.
Straight bars with significantly reduced kickback
potential are available.
Bow guide bars are among the many accessories sold
by retailers for use with the chain saws. Bow guide bars
are mainly sold and used in the USA. The illustration
shows the pear-like shape of a bow guide bar. A bow
guide has an open center and a large nose radius.
Compare the kickback danger zone of the bow guide bar
with the kickback danger zone of a straight guide bar.
The kickback danger zone on the bow guide bar is much
larger than on a straight guide bar.
Improperly used, bow guide bars can produce a more
severe kickback than a straight guide bar. Do not use a
chain saw with a bow guide unless you have
extraordinary cutting needs, experience, and specialized
training in dealing with kickback.
The special "Operator's Manual - Bow Guides" is
available for bow guide bar users. If your special needs
require the use of a bow guide bar, you must follow all
instructions in that Manual. Failure to follow instructions
could result in serious or fatal injury. Guide bars with
significantly reduced kickback potential are available.
