Chain Catcher; Right Handguard; Slip Clutch; Mounting Guide Bar And Adjusting Chain - Husqvarna 316 Operator's Manual

The chain catcher is designed to catch a chain which breaks or jumps out
of its groove. This problem will generally be avoided, however, if the chain is
tensioned properly (see chapter on «Assembly and Adjustment of Guide Bar
and Chain») and the chain and guide bar properly maintained.
Ensure that the CHAIN CATCHER is undamaged.
The right handguard protects the right hand in the event that the chain breaks or
jumps out of its groove, as well as keeping twigs and branches from interfering
with your grip on the handle.
Ensure that the RIGHT HANDGUARD is undamaged.
Your chain saw features a slip clutch which protects it from overload.
The slip clutch may require cleaning after long periods of operation.
Contact your nearest service dealer in the event of malfunction.
