If you do not have experience and specialized training for dealing with
chain saw kickback, then Carlton
®
urges you to use only low-kickback
saw chains which have this green label:
ATTENTION – READ THIS:
The saw chain in this package
is low kickback saw chain. It met the reduced kickback
requirements of ANSI B175.1 and CSA Z62.3 when tested on a
representative sample of chain saws. Its safety features significantly
reduce the hazard of kickback while maintaining high cutting
performance. ALL CUTTING SAW CHAINS CAN KICK BACK,
which may result in severe personal injury to the chain saw operator
or bystanders. Operate your chain saw safety. Read all warnings in
your chain saw operator's manual.
