has been designed, engineered and carefully tested to
provide increased safety and efficiency in firefighting

In its fully extended position, the Guard/Depth Gauge
completely covers the guide bar and cutting chain,
protecting the operator from accidental contact with
the chain. Even when retracted and set for specific
depths of cut, the Guard/Depth Gauge covers all but

the surrounding fire rescue environment.

as its operator. You must be careful to take all
necessary safety precautions and to follow all
safe operating procedures.
