correct operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below:
• Only use replacement bars and chains

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 loose
