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.
SPARK ARRESTER SCREEN retains carbon and other flammable particles over 0.023
inches (0.6 mm) in size from engine exhaust flow. Compliance with local, state and federal
laws and/or regulations governing the use of a spark arrester screen is the user’s
responsibility. See Safety Precautions for additional information.
ENGINE SWITCH immediately stops the engine when tripped. Engine 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 operator’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.
