Safety functions of the chainsaw (Fig.1)
SAW CHAIN (2) WITH LOW KICKBACK
helps significantly reduce kickback, or the intensity of kickback, due to
specially designed depth gauges and guard links.
CHAIN BRAKE LEVER / FRONT HAND GUARD (3)
protects the operator’s left hand in the event it slips off the front handle
while saw is running.
CHAIN BRAKE
is a safety feature designed to reduce the possibility of injury due to kick-
back by stopping a moving saw chain in milliseconds. It is activated by the
CHAIN BRAKE LEVER (3).
SAFETY LOCK (6)
prevents accidental acceleration of the engine. Throttle lever (7) cannot
be squeezed unless the safety latch is depressed.
STOP SWITCH (14)
immediately stops the engine when actuated. Stop switch must be
pushed to position “I” to start or restart the engine.
CHAIN GUARD (20)
fitted when the engine is stopped, prevents the danger of cutting injury
from the chain teeth.
