associated without a chain brake. When purchasing replacements, considerations should be given to the lower CKA values. In all cases, lower CKA values represent a safer operating environment for the user.

STip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast REACTION, kicking the

guide bar up and back toward the op- erator.

SPinching the saw chain along the tip of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator.

to lose control of the saw which could re- sult in serious injury. Do not rely exclu- sively upon safety devices built into your saw.

The following guide bar and chain com- binations meet kickback requirements of CSA Z62.1 & Z62.3 and ANSI B175.1 when used on saws listed in this manual. Use of bar and chain combinations other than those listed is not recommended and may not meet the CKA requirements per standard.

SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibra- tions through prolonged use of hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of people prone to circulation disorders or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold weather has been linked to blood vessel damage in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in skin color or texture, or loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints, discontinue the use of this tool and seek medical attention. An anti-vibration sys- tem does not guarantee the avoidance of these problems. Users who operate power tools on a continual and regular basis must closely monitor their physical condition and the condition of this tool.

DOUBLE INSULATION

CONSTRUCTION

This unit is double insulated to help pro- tect against electric shock. Double in- sulation construction consists of two separate “layers” of electrical insulation instead of grounding.

Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. No grounding means is provided on this unit, nor should a means of grounding be added to this unit.

Safety precautions must be observed when operating any electrical tool. The double insulation system only provides added protection against injury resulting from an internal electrical insulation failure.

WARNING: All electrical repairs to this unit, including housing, switch, motor, etc., must be diagnosed and repaired by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double insulated appliance must be identical to the parts they replace. A double insulated appliance is marked with the words “double insulation” or “double insulated”. The symbol (square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance. Failure to have the unit repaired by authorized service personnel can cause the double insula- tion construction to become ineffective and result in serious injury.

STANDARDS: This product is listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. in accor- dance with UL Standard 1662 and CSA Standards Z62.1 and Z62.3 and ANSI B175.1.
