Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious injury to user. Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced kickback guide bar. Both items reduce the chance of kickback. Kickback can still occur with this saw. Properly install front hand guard. This item can reduce injuries from kickback. Follow assembly instructions on page 6. Do not remove front hand guard. Do not replace front hand guard with substitute. The following steps will reduce the risk of kickback. • Use both hands to grip saw while saw is running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around saw handles. •Keep all safety items in place on saw.
