The safe use of this product requires an under-
standing of the information on the tool and in this
operator's manual as well as a knowledge of the
project you are attempting. Before use of this prod-
uct, familiarize yourself with all operating features
and safety rules.
CHAIN BRAKE / FRONT HAND GUARD
The chain brake is designed to quickly stop the
chain from rotating. When the chain brake / front
hand guard is manually pushed toward the bar, the
chain should stop immediately. The chain brake
does not prevent kickback.

This feature allows user to adjust the tension of
the chain.
GUIDE BAR
The factory-equipped guide bar has a small radius
tip that offers a somewhat lower kickback potential.
LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN
The low kickback saw chain helps minimize the
force of a kickback reaction by preventing the cut-
ters from digging in too deeply at the kickback zone.
