DANGER! BEWARE OF KICKBACK!
KICKBACK
may occur when the
NOSE
or
TIP
of the
guide bar touches an object, or when wood closes in and
pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning-fast
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back
toward the operator.
PINCHING
the saw chain along the
BOTTOM
of the
guide bar may
PULL
the saw forward away from the
operator.
PINCHING
the saw chain along the
TOP
of the
guide bar may
PUSH
the guide bar rapidly back toward
the operator.
Any of these reactions may cause you to lose control of
the saw, which could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING
: Kickback can lead to dangerous
loss of control of the chain saw and result in
serious or fatal injury to the saw operator or to
anyone standing close by. Always be alert.
Rotational kickback and pinch-kickback are
major chain saw operational dangers and the
leading cause of most accidents.

2 LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN
helps significantly
reduce kickback, or the intensity of kickback, due to
specially designed depth gauges and guard links.
4 SPARK ARRESTER SCREEN
retains carbon and
other flammable particles over 0.023 inches (0.6mm)
in size from engine exhaust flow. Compliance with
local, state and federal laws and/or regulations gov-
erning the use of a spark arrester screen is the user’s
responsibility. See Safety Precautions for additional
information.
5 CHAIN BRAKE LEVER / HAND GUARD
protects the
operator’s left hand in the event it slips off the front
handle while saw is running.
5 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.
10 STOP SWITCH
immediately stops the engine when
tripped. Stop switch must be pushed to ON position
to start or restart engine.
11 SAFETY TRIGGER
prevents accidental acceleration
of the engine. Throttle trigger (19) cannot be
squeezed unless the safety latch is depressed.
20 CHAIN CATCHER
reduces the danger of injury in
the event saw chain breaks or derails during
operation. The chain catcher is designed to intercept
a whipping chain.
21 MUFFLER SHIELD / CLUTCH COVER
helps pre-
vent hands and combustible materials from making
contact with a hot muffler.
NOTE:
Study your saw and be familiar with its parts.
