YOU SHOULD USE THE SAW PROPERLY
AND CAREFULLY TO AVOID KICKBACK.
Reduced- -kickback guide bars and low- -
kickback saw chains reduce the chance
and magnitude of kickback and are rec-
ommended. Your saw has a low kick-
back chain and bar as original equip-
ment. Repairs on a chain brake should
be made by an authorized Sears Ser-
vice Center. Take your unit to the place
of purchase if purchased from a servic-
ing dealer, or to your nearest Sears
Service Center.
S Tip contact in some cases may cause
a lightning fast reverse
kicking guide bar up and back toward
operator.
S Pinching the saw chain along the top
of the guide bar may push the guide
bar rapidly back toward the operator.
S Either of these reactions may cause
you to lose control of the saw which
could result in serious injury. Do not
rely exclusively upon devices built into
your saw.
This unit is not equipped with an anti- -
vibration system and is intended for
occasional use only.
SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibra-
tions through prolonged use of gasoline
powered hand tools could cause blood
vessel or nerve damage in the fingers,
hands, and joints of people prone to
circulation disorders or abnormal swell-
ings. Prolonged use in cold weather has
been linked to blood vessel damage in
otherwise healthy people. If symptoms
occur such as numbness, pain, loss of
strength, change in skin color or texture,
WARNING:
saw, ensure all fasteners are secure.
