Thumb on underside of

handlebar

Elbow locked

S

Keep a good, firm grip on the saw with both

hands when the engine is running and

don’t let go. A firm grip will help you reduce

kickback and maintain control of the saw.

Keep the fingers of your left hand encir-

cling and your left thumb under the front

handlebar. Keep your right hand complete-

ly around the rear handle whether your are

right handed or left handed. Keep your left

arm straight with the elbow locked.

S

Position your left hand on the front handle-

bar so it is in a straight line with your right

hand on the rear handle when making

bucking cuts. Never reverse right and left

hand positions for any type of cutting.

S

Stand with your weight evenly balanced on

both feet.

S

Stand slightly to the left side of the saw to

keep your body from being in a direct line

with the cutting chain.

S

Do not overreach. You could be drawn or

thrown off balance and lose control of saw.

S

Do not cut above shoulder height. It is diffi-

cult to maintain control of saw above

shoulder height.

KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES

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 reac-

tion. 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

injury.

S

Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar, designed

with a small radius tip which reduces the

size of the kickback danger zone on bar

tip. A Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar has

been demonstrated to significantly reduce

the number and seriousness of kickbacks

when tested in accordance with safety re-

quirements for gasoline powered chain

saws as set by ANSI B175.1.

S

Low-Kickback Chain, designed with a

contoured depth gauge and guard link

which deflect kickback force and allow

wood to gradually ride into the cutter. Low-

Kickback Chain has met kickback per-

formance requirements when tested on a

representative sample of chain saws be-

low 3.8 cubic inch displacement specified

in ANSI B175.1.

S

Handguard, designed to reduce the

chance of your left hand contacting chain if

your hand slips off the front handlebar.

S

Position of front and rear handlebars, de-

signed 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 t he pivot of

the saw back toward the operator if kick-

back occurs.

CHAIN BRAKE

S

Chain Brake, designed to stop the chain in

the event of kickback.

WARNING:

WE DO NOT REP-

RESENT AND YOU SHOULD NOT AS-

SUME THAT THE CHAIN BRAKE WILL

PROTECT YOU IN THE EVENT OF A

KICKBACK. Kickback is a lightning fast ac-

tion which throws the bar and rotating chain

back and up toward the operator. Kickback

can be caused by allowing contact of the bar

tip in the danger zone with any hard object.
