SAFETY INFORMATION
Additional Safety Warnings
• Push and Pull (Fig. e) – The 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 the PUSH when cutting along the top edge.

PULL
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
a replacement chain that is equivalent to the original chain or has been certified as a low
kickback chain per ANSI B175.1. A low kickback tooth saw chain is a chain that has met
the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1 (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.
CAUTION
• As saw chains are sharpened during their useful life, they lose some of the low kickback
qualities and extra caution should be used.
