WARNING

Do not use other replacement bars and chains unless they have been designated as meeting the ANSI B 175.1-1991 (for USA) and CSA Z62.3-96 (for Canada) kickback performance requirements on that specific powerhead, or has been desig- nated as "low kickback" saw chain in accordance with the ANSI B 175.1-1991 (for USA) and CSA Z62.3-96 (for Canada) standard.

"There may be other replacement bar and chain combinations available that also reduces the risk of injury from kickback".
