MAINTAIN CONTROL

Stand to the left of the saw

Never reverse hand positions

Elbow locked

Thumb on under side of handlebar

SKeep a good, firm grip on the saw with both hands when the engine is running and don’t let go. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw. Keep the fingers of your left hand encircling and your left thumb under the front handlebar. Keep your right hand completely around the rear handle whether your are right handed or left

handed. Keep your left arm straight with the elbow locked.

SPosition your left hand on the front han- dlebar so it is in a straight line with your right hand on the rear handle when mak- ing bucking cuts. Never reverse right and

left hand positions for any type of cutting.

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 dif- ficult 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, designed with a small radius tip which reduces the size of the kickback danger zone on the bar tip. A Reduced--Kickback 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.

S Handguard, 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, de- signed with distance between handles and “in--line” with each other. The spread and “in--line” position of the hands pro- vided by this design work together to give balance and resistance in controlling the pivot of the saw back toward the operator if kickback occurs.
