ASSEMBLY AND USE
PREPARING TO ASSEMBLE THE CHAINSAW
Safety Features
a. LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN: helps significantly reduce
kickback, or the intensity of kickback, due to specially
designed depth gauges and guard links.
b i. CHAIN BRAKE: is a safety feature designed to reduce the
possibility of injury due to kickback by stopping a moving saw
chain in milliseconds. It is activated by the CHAIN BRAKE
lever.
b ii.CHAIN BRAKE LEVER/HAND GUARD: protects the
operator’s left hand in the event it slips off the front handle
(while the saw is running) in the event of kickback.
c. STOP SWITCH: immediately stops the engine when
tripped.
The stop switch must be pushed to the ‘START’ position to
start or restart engine.
d. SAFETY TRIGGER LOCK: prevents accidental acceleration
of the engine. The throttle trigger cannot be squeezed unless
the safety latch is de-pressed.
e. CHAIN CATCHER: reduces the danger of injury in the event
that the saw chain breaks or derails during operation. The
chain catcher is designed to intercept a whipping chain.
NOTE:
Study your saw and be familiar with its parts.
