_L, WARNING:
Computed
kickback
angle (CKA) listed on your saw and listed in the
CKA table below represents angle of kickback
your
bar and chain combinations
will have
when tested in accordance
with CSA (Cana-
dian Standards
Association)
and ANSI stan-
dards. When purchasing replacement bar and
chain, considerations
should be given to the
lower CKA values. Lower CKA values repre-
sent safer angles to the user, higher values in-
dicate more angle and higher
kick energies.
Computed
angles
represented
indicate
total
energy and angle associated without activation
of the chain brake during kickback.
Activated
angle represents chain stopping time relative to
activation
angle of chain break and resulting
kick angle of saw. In all cases lower CKA val-
ues represent
a safer operating environment
for the user.
The following guide bar and chain combina-
tions
meet
kickback
requirements
of CSA
Standards Z62.1, Z62.3, & ANSI B175.1 when
used on saws listed in this manual. Use of bar
and chain combinations
other than those listed
is not recommended
and may not meet the
CKA requirements
per standard.

hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve
damage
in the fingers,
hands, and joints of
people
prone
to
circulation
disorders
or
abnormal
swellings.
Prolonged
use
in cold
weather
has

and seek
medical
attention.
An anti-vibration
system
does not guarantee
the avoidance
of these
problems.
Users who operate power tools on
a continual
and regular
basis must monitor
closely
their
physical
condition
and
the
condition of this tool
