Low Kickback Saw Chain
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter can minimize the force of a kickback
reaction by preventing the cutters from digging in too deeply at the kickback zone. Only
use a replacement chain that is equivalent to the original chain or has been certied as a
low kickback chain per ANSI B175.1. A low kickback tooth saw chain is a chain that has
met the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1 (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.i.d. specied in ANSI B175.1.
CAUTION:
As saw chains are sharpened during their useful life, they lose some
of the low kickback qualities and extra caution should be used.
GUIDE BAR
This saw comes equipped with a guide bar that has a small radius nose. Small radius
noses generally have less potential for kickback. When replacing the guide bar, be sure
to order the bar listed in this manual.
