SAFETY FEATURES
Numbers preceding the descriptions correspond with the
numbers above to help you locate the safety feature.
2 LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN helps significantly
reduce kickback, or the intensity of kickback, due to
specially designed depth gauges and guard links.
4 SPARK ARRESTER SCREEN retains carbon and
other flammable particles over 0.023 inches (0.6mm)
in size from engine exhaust flow. Compliance with
local, state and federal laws and/or regulations
governing the use of a spark arrester screen is the
user's responsibility. See Safety Precautions for
additional information.
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
10 STOP SWITCH immediately stops the engine when
tripped. Stop switch must be pushed to ON position
to start or restart engine.
11 SAFETY LATCH prevents accidental acceleration of
the engine. Throttle trigger (19) cannot be squeezed
unless the safety latch is depressed.
