Low Kickback Saw Chain
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter can minimize the force of a kickback reaction by
preventing the cutters from digging in too deeply at the kickback zone. Only use a replacement
chain that is equivalent to the original chain or has been certified as a low kickback chain per
ANSI B175.1. A low kickback tooth saw chain is a chain that has met the kickback performance
requirements of ANSI B175.1 (American National Standard for Power Tools - Gasoline-Powered
Chain Saws-Safety Requirements) when tested on the representative sample of chain saws
below 3.8 c.i.d. specified in ANSI B175.1.
As saw chains are sharpened during their useful life, they lose some of the
low kickback qualities and extra caution should be used.
Guide Bar
This saw comes equipped with a guide bar that has a small radius nose. Small radius noses
generally have less potential for kickback. When replacing the guide bar, please order the guide
bar we recommend in this manual or the guide bar with the correct specification with regarding to
this product.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
A mini chain saw allows one-handed operation (Fig. 2).
Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the
nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, fence, or any other obstruction that could be hit while
you are operating the saw.
Always cut with the unit running at full speed. Fully squeeze the switch trigger and maintain
cutting speed.
With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of
surprise (Fig. 3
–
Fig. 5). Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
