• Front Handguard,
designed to reduce the
chance of your left hand contacting the chain
if your hand slips off the front handlebar,
• Position of front and rear handlebars,
de-
signed 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 re-
sistance in controlling the pivot of the saw
back toward the operator if kickback occurs.
CHAIN
BRAKE
• Chain Brake, designed
to stop the chain in
the event of kickback.

THAT

YOU
IN THE
EVENT
OF
A
KICKBACK.
Kickback
is a lightning fast ac-
tion which throws
the bar and rotating chain
back and up toward the operator.
Kickback
can be caused
by allowing contact
of the bar
tip in the danger
zone with any hard object.
Kickback
can also be caused by pinching the
Computed

angle
(CKA)
Table
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
AN D
CAREFULLY
TO AVOID
KICKBACK.
Re-
duced-kickback
guide bars
and low-kick-
back
saw
chains
reduce
the chance
and
magnitude
of kickback
and
are
recom-
mended.
Your saw has a low kickback
chain
and bar as original equipment.
Repairs
on a
chain brake
should
be made by an autho-
rized servicing
dealer.
Take your unit to the
place of purchase
if purchased
from a ser-
vicing
dealer,
or to the nearest authorized
master
service dealer.
• 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 controi of the saw which could result
in serious
injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon safety devices built into your saw.
_L, WARNING:
Computed
kickback
angle (CKA) listed on your saw and listed in
the
CKA
table below
represents
angle of
kickback
your bar and chain combinations
will have when
tested
in accordance
with
CBA and ANSI standards.
When purchasing
replacement
bar and chain, considerations
should
be given to the lower CKA values.
Lower CKA values represent
safer angles to
the user, higher values
indicate
more angle
and higher
kick energies.
Computed
angles
represented
in the non-activated
column
in-
dicate
total
energy
and angte
associated
without activation
of the chain brake during
kickback.
Activated
angle
represents
chain
stopping
time relative
to activation
angte of
chain brake and resulting
kick angle of saw.
in all cases
lower CKA values
represent
a
safer operating
environment
for the user.
The following
guide bar and chain combina-
tions
meet kickback
requirements
of CSA
Z62.1, Z62.3. & ANSI B175.1 when used on
saws
listed in this manual.
Use of bar and
chain combinations
other than those tisted is
not recommended
and may not meet the
CKA requirements
per standard.
