Low kickback saw chain
A low kickback saw chain is a saw chain that has met the kickback performance requirements of ANSI B175.1-2012
when tested according to the provisions specified in ANSI B175.1-2012.
The saw chain(s) in the list classified as low kickback saw chains are evaluated and listed as a Low Kickback Saw Chain
according to the provisions in Z62.3-11 (R2016).
Kickback and guide bar nose radius
For sprocket nose bars the nose radius is defined by the number of teeth (e.g. 10T). For solid bars the nose radius is
defined by the size of the nose radius. For a given guide bar length, you may use a guide bar with smaller nose radius
than listed.

Pixel
Pixel is a guide bar and saw chain combination that is more light weight and designed to offer more energy efficient use
by cutting narrow cuts. Both guide bar and saw chain need to be Pixel to get these benefits. Pixel cutting equipment is
marked with this symbol.
Filing equipment and filing angles
Using Husqvarna file gauge will give you the correct filing angles. We recommend always using a Husqvarna file gauge
to restore the sharpness of the saw chain. The part numbers are given in the table below.
