LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN helps significantly reduce kickback or the intensity of 
kickback, due to specially designed depth gauges and guard links. 

 

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. 

 

STOP SWITCH immediately stops the engine when tripped. Stop switch must be pushed 
to ON position to start or restart engine. 

 

SAFETY TRIGGER prevents accidental acceleration of the engine. Throttle trigger cannot 
be squeezed unless the safety latch is depressed. 

 

CHAIN BRAKE LEVER / HAND GUARD protects the o

perator’s left hand in the event it 

slips off the front handle while saw is running. 

 

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. 

NOTE: Study your saw and be familiar with its parts. 

WARNING!  Beware  of  kickback.  Hold  chain  saw  firmly  with  both  hands 
when  using.  For  your  own  safety,  please  read  and  follow  the  safety 
precautions  in  this  manual  before  attempting  to  operate  your  chain  saw. 
Improper use can cause serious injury. 

WARNING!  When  using  gas  tools,  basic  safety  precautions,  including  the 
following, should always be followed to reduce the risk of serious personal 
injury and/or damage to the unit.
