KICKBACK
SAFETY
FEATURES
_,
WARNING:
Tile following fea-
tures are included on your saw to help
reduce the hazard of kickback; however,
such features will not totally eliminate
this danger. Do not rely only on safety
devices. Follow all safety rules to help
avoid kickback and other forces which
can result in serious injury.
• Front Hand Guard, designed to reduce
the chance of your left hand contact-
ing the chain if your hand slips off the
front handlebar.
• Position of front and rear handlebars,
designed with distance between han-
dles and "in-line" with each other. The
spread and "in-line" position of the
hands provided by this design work
together to give balance and resis-
tance in controlling the pivot of the
saw back toward the operator if kick-
back occurs.
• Reduced-Kickback
Guide Bar, de-
signed with a small radius tip which
reduces the size of the kickback
danger zone on the bar tip. This type
of bar has been demonstrated
to sig-
nificantly
reduce the number and se-
riousness
of kickbacks
when tested
in accordance
with ANSI B175.1.

CHAIN BRAKE
• Chain Brake, designed
to stop tile
chain in the event of kickback.
,_&WARNING:
WE DO NOT REP-
RESENT AND YOU SHOULD NOT AS-
SUME THAT THE CHAIN BRAKE WILL
PROTECT YOU IN THE EVENT OF A KICK-
BACK. Kickback is a lightning fast action
which throws the bar and rotating chain
back and up toward the operator. Kick-
back can be caused by allowing contact
of the bar tip in the danger zone with
any hard object. Kickback can also be
caused by pinching the saw chain along
the top of the guide bar. This action may
push the guide bar rapidly back toward
the operator.
Either of these events may
cause you to lose control of the saw
which could result in serious injury or
even death. DO NOT RELY UPON ANY OF
THE DEVICES BUILT INTO YOUR SAW.
YOU SHOULD USE THE SAW PROPERLY
AND CAREFULLY TO AVOID KICKBACK.
Reduced-kickback
guide bars and low-
kickback saw chains reduce tile chance
and magnitude of kickback and are rec-
ommended. Your saw has a low kick-
back chain and bar as original equip-
ment. Repairs on a chain brake should
be made by an authorized Sears Ser-
vice Center. Take your unit to the place
of purchase if purchased from a servic-
ing dealer, or to your nearest Sears Ser-
vice Center
• Tip contact in some cases may cause
a lightning fast reverse REACTION,
kicking guide bar up and back toward
operator.
• Pinching the saw chain along the top
of the guide bar may push the guide
bar rapidly back toward the operator.
• Either of these reactions may cause
you to lose control of the saw which
could result in serious injury. Do not
rely exclusively upon devices built into
your saw.
