Approved bar and chain combinations

"Low-kickback saw chain is a chain which has met the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B 175.1- 1991 (American National Standard for Power Tools- Gasoline-Powered Chain Saws-Safety Requirements) when tested on the representative sample of chain saws below 3.8. C.l.D. specifed in ANSI B 175.1- 1991". The approved bar and chain combinations are low kickback chains according to ANSI B 175.1-1991 and also meet the kickback requirements of CSA Z62.3-96 for chain saws below 80 cm3.

The chain saw DCS 340, DCS 341, DCS 400, DCS 401 has been approved with following guide bar and chain combinations:

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".
