Safety features (fig.1)
2 LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN helps significantly
reduce kickback, or the intensity of kickback, due
to specially designed depth gauges and guard
links.
5 CHAIN BRAKE LEVER / HAND GUARD protects
the operator’s left hand in the event it slips off the
front handle while saw is running.
5 CHAIN BRAKE is a safety feature designed to
reduce the possibility of injury due to kickback by
stopping a moving saw chain in milliseconds. It is
activated by the CHAIN BRAKE lever.
10 STOP SWITCH immediately stops the engine
when tripped. Stop switch must be pushed to ON
position to start or restart engine.
11 SAFETY TRIGGER prevents accidental
acceleration of the engine. Throttle trigger (19)
cannot be squeezed unless the safety latch is
depressed.
20 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 saw and be familiar with its parts.
