The

effectiveness

of

a

chain

brake

in

reducing

operator

injuries

has

not

yet

been

fully

determined.

We

can-

not

represent

that

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

PROTECT

YOU

IN

THE

EVENT

OF

A

KICKBACK

Instead,

use

the

saw

properly

and

carefully

to

avoid

kickback.

Reduced

-Kick-

reduce

the

and

are

recommended.

Repairs

on

a

brake

should

be

made

by

an

Authorized

POULAN

PRO
