with the below listed saw chain and guide bar
combination(s).
Note: Other chainsaw models may not meet the
kickback requirements when equipped with the listed
guide bar and saw chain combinations.
We recommend only to use the listed guide bar and saw
chain combinations.
Kickback and guide bar nose radius
For sprocket nose bars the nose radius is specified by
the number of teeth, such as 10T. For solid guide bars
the nose radius is specified by the dimension of the
nose radius. For a given guide bar length, you can use a
guide bar with smaller nose radius than given.
