WARNING
Confirm that the chain brake works properly before each use.
WARNING
If the chain brake is clogged with wood chips, the function of the
chain brake may deteriorate. Always keep the device clean.
Low Kickback Saw Chain
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter can minimize the force of a kickback
reaction by preventing the cutters from digging in too deeply at the kickback zone. Only use
a replacement chain that is equivalent to the original chain or has been certied as a low
kickback chain per ANSI B175.1. A low kickback tooth saw chain is a chain that has met
the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1 (American National Standard for
Power Tools - Gasoline-Powered Chain Saws-Safety Requirements) when tested on the
representative sample of chain saws below 3.8 c.i.d. specied in ANSI B175.1.
CAUTION
As saw chains are sharpened during their useful life, they lose some of the
low kickback qualities and extra caution should be used.
Guide Bar
This saw comes equipped with a guide bar that has a small radius nose. Small radius noses
generally have less potential for kickback. When replacing the guide bar, please order the
guide bar we recommend in this manual or the guide bar with the correct specication with
regarding to this product.
