CHAIN BRAKE
• Chain Brake: designed to stop the
chain in the event of kickback.
_kWARNING:
WE DO NOT REP-
RESENT AND YOU SHOULD NOT AS-
SUME THAT THE CHAIN BRAKE WILL
PROTECT YOU IN THE EVENT OF A
KICKBACK. Kickback is a lightning fast
action which throws the bar and rotat-
ing chain back and up toward the op-
erator. Kickback can be caused by al-
lowing contact of the bar tip in the
danger zone with any hard object.
Kickback can also be caused by
pinching the saw chain along the top
of the guide bar. This action may push
the guide bar rapidly back toward the
operator.
Either of these events may
cause you to lose control of the saw
which could result in serious injury or
even death. DO NOT RELY UPON ANY
OF THE DEVICES BUILT INTO YOUR
SAW. YOU SHOULD USE THE SAW
PROPERLY AND CAREFULLY TO AVOID
KICKBACK. Reduced-kickback
guide
bars and low-kickback
saw chains re-
duce the chance and magnitude of
kickback and are recommended.
Your
saw has a low kickback chain and bar
as original equipment.
Repairs on a
chain brake should be made by an au-
thorized Sears Service Center. Take
your unit to the place of purchase or to
your nearest Sears Service Center.
• Tip contact in some cases may cause
a lightning fast reverse REACTION,
kicking guide bar up and back toward
operator.
• Pinching the saw chain along the top
of the guide bar may push the guide
bar rapidly back toward the operator.
• Either of these reactions may cause
you to lose control of the saw which
could result in serious injury. Do not
rely exclusively upon safety devices
built into your saw.
