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.

SAFETY FEATURES
Numbers preceding the descriptions correspond
with the numbers on this page to help you locate
the safety feature.
1. Low kickback saw chain helps significantly
reduce kickback or the intensity of kickback,
due to specially designed depth gauges and
guard links.
3. Spark arrester screen retains carbon and
other flammable particles over 0.6 mm in size
from engine exhaust flow.
4. Chain brake lever / Hand guard protects the
operator's left hand in the event it slips off the
front handle while saw is running.
4. Chain brake is a safety feature designed to
reduce the possibility of injury due to kickback
by stopping a moving saw chain in millisec-
onds. It is activated by the chain brake lever.
7. Stop switch immediately stops the engine
when tripped. Stop switch must be pushed to
ON position to start or restart engine.
8. Safety trigger prevents accidental accelera-
tion of the engine. Throttle trigger (20) cannot
be squeezed unless the safety latch is de-
pressed.
13. Spiked bumper is used for your personal
safety and ease of cutting. The spiked bump-
er will increase your stability while performing
vertical cutting.
23. Chain catcher reduces the danger of injury in
the event saw chain breaks or derails during
operation. The chain catcher is designed to
intercept a whipping chain.
NOTE: Study your chain saw and get familiar with
its parts.
