English / USA
The matching of green decaled
powerheads under 3.8 cubic inch
displacement with green labeled bars
and green labeled chains gives
compliance with the computed kickback
angle requirements of ANSI B 175.1-
2000 when the products are in their
original condition. Products with yellow
decals or labels are for users with
extraordinary cutting needs and
experience and specialized training for
dealing with kickback.
STIHL recommends the use of its
green labeled reduced kickback bars,
green labeled low kickback chains
and a STIHL Quickstop chain brake
for both experienced and in -
experienced chainsaw users.
Please ask your STlHL dealer to
properly match your powerhead with the
appropriate bar/chain combinations to
reduce the risk of kickback injury. Green
labeled bars and chains are
recommended for all powerheads. See
your "STIHL Bar and Chain Information"
leaflet for details.

Warning!
Use of other, non-listed bar/chain
combinations may increase kickback
forces and increase the risk of kickback
injury. New bar/chain combinations may
be developed after publication of this
literature, which will, in combination with
certain powerheads, comply with § 5.11
of ANSI B 175.1-2000. Check with your
STI HL dealer for such combinations.
!
Warning!
Do not mount a bow guide on any STIHL
chainsaw.
Any chainsaw equipped with a bow
guide is potentially very dangerous. The
risk of kickback is increased with a bow
guide because of the increased kickback
contact area. Low kickback chain will not
significantly reduce the risk of kickback
injury when used on a bow guide.
Devices for reducing the risk of
kickback injury
STIHL recommends the use of the
STIHL Quickstop chain brake on your
power-head with green labeled reduced
kickback bars and low kickback chains.
Quickstop™ chain brake:
STIHL has developed a chain stopping
system designed to reduce the risk of
injury in certain kickback situations. It is
called a Quickstop chain brake. The
Quickstop is available as standard
equipment on your STIHL chainsaw and
is available for installation on most older
STIHL saws. Ask your dealer to retrofit
your older model saw with a chain brake.
When a kickback occurs, the guide bar
may rotate around the front handle.
