SAFETY RULES • With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents. • Push and Pull - This reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain is moving where wood contact is made. Thus, the operator must be ready to control the PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of the bar, and PUSH when cutting along the top edge. UNDERSTANDING YOUR CHAINSAW SAFETY DEVICES LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter can minimize the force of a kickback reaction by preventing the cutters from digging in too deeply at the kickback zone. Only use replacement chain that is equivalent to original chain or has been certified as low kickback chain per ANSI B175.1. Low kickback/skip tooth saw chain is a chain that has met the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1 - 1991. (American National Standard for Power Tools - Gasoline-Powered ChainsawsSafety Requirements) when tested on the representative sample of chainsaws below 3.8 c.i.d. specified in ANSI B175.1 - 1991. As saw chains are sharpened during their useful life, they lose some of the low kickback qualities and extra caution should be used. WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, do not attempt to use this product until you have read this Owner's Manual thoroughly and understand it completely. If you do not understand the warnings and instructions in this Owner's Manual, do not use this product. Call the Tollfree Helpline 1-855-378-6903 for assistance. WARNING: The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and, when needed, a full face shield. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields. Always use eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each
cutter can minimize the force of a kickback
reaction by preventing
the cutters from
digging in too deeply at the kickback zone.
Only use replacement chain that is equivalent
to original chain or has been certified as
low kickback chain per ANSI B175.1. Low
kickback/skip tooth saw chain is a chain
that has met the kickback performance
requirements of ANSI B175.1 - 1991.
(American National Standard for Power
Tools - Gasoline-Powered Chainsaws-
Safety Requirements) when tested on the
representative sample of chainsaws below
3.8 c.i.d. specified in ANSI B175.1 - 1991.
As saw chains are sharpened during their
useful life, they lose some of the low kickback
qualities and extra caution should be used.
