KICKBACK
SAFETY
FEATURES
.'I,
!ll, 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 o_er forces which can result
in serous
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.
IIL _____.__
_WAKNIN_:
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 aI-
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 ofthese
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 Iow 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 _ese reactions may cause
you to lose control of _e saw which
could result in serious injury. Do not
rely exclusively
upon safety devices
built into your saw.
