KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES
_II_WARNING:
The following features
are included on your saw to help reduce
hazard of kickback; however, such fea-
tures will not totally eliminate this danger.
Do not rely only on safety devices. Fol-
low all safety rules to help avoid kick-
back and other forces which can result
In senous injury,
• Front Hand Guard: designed to re-
duce the chance of your left hand
contacting the chain if your hand
slips off the front handlebar,
• Position of front and rear handlebars:
designed with distance between
handles and "in-line" with each other.
The spread and "in-line" position of
the hands provided by this design
work together to give balance and
resistance in controlling the pivot of
the saw back toward the operator if
kickback occurs.
• Reduced-Kickback
Guide Bar: de-
signed with a small radius tip which
reduces the size of the kickback
danger zone on the bar tip, This type
bar has been demonstrated
to signif-
icantly reduce the number and seri-
ousness of kickbacks when tested in
accordance with ANSI B175,1,

CHAIN
BRAKE
• Chain
Brake:
designed
to stop the
chain in the event
of kickback.
oWARNING:
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,
