CHAINBRAKE
• Chain Brake, designed to stop the chain in
the event of kickback.
_I_WARNING: WE DO NOT REP-
RESENTAND YOU SHOULD NOT AS-
SUME THAT THE CHAIN BRAKE WiLL
PROTECT YOU IN THE EVENT OF A
KICKBACK. Kickback is a lightning fast ac-
tion which throws the bar and rotating chain
back and up toward the operatoE Kickback
can be ca used by allowing contact of the bar
tip in the danger zone with any hard object.
Kickback can also be caused by pinching the
Computed kickback angle (CKA) Table
saw chain along thetopof the guide bar. This
action may push the guide bar rapidly back
toward the operator. Either of these events
may cause you to lose controt of the saw
which could result in serious injury or even
death. DO NOT RELY UPON ANY OF THE
DEVICES BUILT INTO YOUR SAW. YOU
SHOULD USE THE SAW PROPERLY AND
CAREFULLY TO AVOID KICKBACK. Re-
duced-kickback guide bars and low-kick-
back saw chains reduce the chance and
magnitude of kickback and are recom-
mended. Your saw has a low kickback chain
and bar as original equipment. Repairs on a
chain brake should be made by an autho-
rized servicing dealer. Take your unit to the
place of purchase if purchased from a ser-
vicing dealer, or to the nearest authorized
master service dealer.
• Tip contact in some cases may cause a
lightning fast reverse REACTION, kicking
guide bar up and back toward operator.
• Pinching the saw chain along the top of the
guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly
back toward the operator.
• Either of these reactions may cause you to
lose controt of the saw which could result
in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon safety devices built into your saw.
_k WARNING: Computed kickback
angle (CKA) listed on your saw and listed in
the CKA table below represents angie of
kickback your bar and chain combinations
will have when tested in accordance with
CSA and ANSI standards. When purchasing
replacement bar and chain, considerations
should be given to the lower CKA values.
Lower CKA values represent safer angles to
the user, higher values indicate more angle
and higher kick energies. Computed angles
represented in the non-activated cotumn in-
dicate total energy and angle associated
without activation of the chain brake during
kickback. Activated angle represents chain
stopping time relative to activation angle of
chain brake and resulting kick angle of saw.
In all cases lower CKA values represent a
safer operating environment for the user.
The following guide bar and chain combtha-
tions meet kickback requirements of CSA
Z62.1, Z62.3, & ANSI B175.1 when used on
saws listed in this manual. Use of bar and
chain combinations other than those listed is
not recommended and may not meet the
CKA requirements per standard.
