5LOCK / OFF BUTTON prevents accidental acceleration of the saw motor. The trigger cannot be squeezed unless lock/off button is depressed.

6TRIGGER START / STOP SWITCH stops saw motor when released.

8HAND GUARD protects the operator’s left hand in the event it slips off the front handle while saw is running.

WARNING

2-2. DANGER! BEWARE OF KICKBACK!

Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the chain saw and result in serious or fatal injury to the saw operator or to anyone standing close by. Always be alert because rotational kickback and pinch kickback are major chain saw operational dangers and the leading cause of most acci- dents.

BEWARE OF:

ROTATIONAL KICKBACK (Figure 2-2A)

A = Kickback path

B = Kickback reaction zone

KICKBACK may occur when the NOSE or TIP of the guide bar touches an object, or when wood closes in and pinch- es the saw chain in the cut.

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

PINCHING the saw chain along the BOTTOM of the guide bar may PULL the saw forward, away from the operator.

PINCHING the saw chain along the TOP of the guide bar may PUSH the guide bar rapidly back toward the operator.

Any of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw, which could result in serious personal injury.
