slightly to the left side of the saw to

keep your body from being in a direct

line with the cutting c hain.

or thrown off balance and lose con trol.

KICKBACK SAFETY FEATUR ES

WARNING: The following features

are included on your saw to help reduce

hazard of kickback; however, such fea-

tures will not totally eliminate this dan-

ger. Do not rely only on safety devices.

Follow all safety rules to help avoid kick-

back and other forces which can result

in serious injury.

S Hand Guard: designed to reduce the

chance of your left hand contacting

the chain if your hand s lips off the front

handlebar.

S Positi on of fr ont and rear handlebars:

designed with distance between han-

dles and “in- l i ne” with each other. The

spre ad and “in- li ne” positi o n of the

hands provided by this design work to-

gether to give balance and resist ance in

controlling the pivot of the saw back to-

war d the operator if kickback occurs.

S Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar : de-

signed wit h a small radius ti p which re-

duces the size of the kickback danger

zone. This type bar has been demon-

str ated to signif i cantl y reduce the num-

ber and seriousness of kickbacks when

tested in accordance with ANSI B175.1.
