SStand with your weight evenly balanced on both feet.

SStand slightly to the left side of the saw to keep your body from being in a direct line

with the cutting chain.

SDo not overreach. You could be drawn or thrown off balance and lose control of

the saw.

SDo not cut above shoulder height. It is difficult to maintain control of saw above shoulder height.

KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES

WARNING: The following features are included on your saw to help reduce the hazard of kickback; however, such features will not totally eliminate this dangerous reac- tion. As a chain saw user, do not rely only on safety devices. You must follow all safety precautions, instructions, and maintenance in this manual to help avoid kickback and other forces which can result in serious injury.

SReduced--Kickback Guide Bar, de- signed with a small radius tip which re- duces the size of the kickback danger zone on the bar tip. A Reduced--Kick- back Guide Bar has been demonstrated to significantly reduce the number and seriousness of kickbacks when tested in accordance with safety requirements

for gasoline powered chain saws as set by ANSI B175.1.

SLow--Kickback Chain, designed with a contoured depth gauge and guard link which deflect kickback force and allow wood to gradually ride into the cutter. Low--Kickback Chain has met kickback performance requirements when tested on a representative sample of chain saws below 3.8 cubic inch displacement

specified in ANSI B175.1.

SHandguard, designed to reduce the chance of your left hand contacting the chain if your hand slips off the front han- dlebar.

SPosition of front and rear handlebars, designed with distance between han- dles and “in-line” with each other. The spread and “in-line” position of the hands provided by this design work to- gether to give balance and resistance in controlling the pivot of the saw back to- ward the operator if kickback occurs.

CHAIN BRAKE AND

CKA ANGLE

WARNING: The effectiveness of a chain brake in reducing operator injuries has not yet been fully determined. We cannot represent that a chain brake is an effective safety device to prevent or reduce the haz-

ard of injuries resulting from kickback. DO NOT ASSUME THAT THE CHAIN BRAKE WILL PROTECT YOU IN THE EVENT OF A KICKBACK. Instead, use

the saw properly and carefully to avoid kick- back. Reduced--Kickback bars and Low-- Kickback chains reduce the hazard of kick- back and are recommended. Repairs on a chain brake should be made by an Autho- rized POULAN PRO Service Dealer. Take your unit to the place of purchase if pur- chased from a Servicing Dealer, or to the nearest Authorized Master Service Dealer.

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 CSA 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 angle associated without activation of the chain brake during kickback. Activated angle represents chain stopping time relative to activation angle of chain break and resulting kick angle of saw. In all cases lower CKA values represent a safer operating environment for the user.

STip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse REACTION, kicking the guide bar up and back toward the operator.
