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 dangerous reaction. As a

chain saw 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 personal injury.

B. KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES

— Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar, designed with a small

radius tip w^ich reduces the size of the kickback danger

zone on the bar tip. Figure 5. A Reduced Kickback

Guide Bar is one which has been demonstrated to

significantly reduce the number and seriousness of

kickbacks when tested in accordance with the safety

requirements for gasoline powered chain saws as set

by the American National Standards Institute, Inc.,

Standard B175.1 -1985.

— Low-Kickback Chain, designed with a contoured

depth gauge and guard link which deflect the kickback

force and allow wood to gradually ride into the cutter.

Figure 5. Low Kickback Saw Chain is chain which has

met the kickback performance requirements of ANSI

B175.1 (Safety Requirements for Gasoline-Powered

Chain Saws) when tested on a representative sample of

chain saws below 3B cubic inch displacement speci

fied in ANSI B175.1. (American National Standards

. Institute, Inc., Standard B175.1-1985).

-^Handguard, designed to reduce the chance of your left

hand contacting the chain if your hand slips off the front

handlebar.

— Position of front and rear handlebars, designed

with distance between handles and “in line” with each

other The spread and “in line” position of the hands

provided by this design work together to give balance

and resistance in controlling the pivot of the saw back

toward the operator if kickback occurs.

^WARNING

Do not operate the chain saw unless the safety devices

or their specified replacements are properly installed

and maintained according to the instructions in this

manual. Do not use any other guide bar and chain com

bination that is not equivalent to the original equipment

or not certified to comply with ANSI B175.1. Failure

to follow these instructions can result in serious per

sonal injury.

STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS.

Your saw is equipped with a temperature limiting

muffler and spark arresting screen which meets the

requirements of California Codes 4442 and 4443.

All U.S. forest land and the states of California, Maine,

Washington and Oregon require many internal com

bustion engines to be equipped with a spark arrestor

screen by law.

If you operate a chain saw in a state or locale where

such regulations exist, you are legally responsible

for maintaining the operating condition of these

parts. Failure to do so could subject you to liability

or to a fine. Muffler and spark arrestor maintenance

is found on page 17 & 18.
