in

has

not

fully

determined. Poulan/Poulan

a

chain

brake

is

an

effective

safety

device

to

prevent

or

reduce

the

hazard

of

injuries

resulting

from

kickback.

Do

not

assume

that

the

chain

brake

will

pro-

tect

you

in

the

event

of

kickback.

Instead,

use

the

saw

properly

and

carefully

to

avoid

kickback.

Proper

opera-

tion
