together to give balance and resis-

saw back toward the operator ff kick-
back occurs.
• Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar, de-
signed with a smatl radius tip which
reduces the size of the kickback
danger zone on the bar tip. This type
of bar has been demonstrated to sig-
nificantly reduce the number and se-
riousness of kickbacks when tested
in accordance with ANSI B175.1.

SUME THAT THE CHAIN BRAKE WILL
PROTECT YOU IN THE EVENT OF A KICK-
BACK Kickback is a lightning fast action
which throws the bar and rotating chain
back and up toward the operator. Kick-
back can be caused by aIIowing contact
of the bar tip in the danger zone with
any hard object. Kickback can also be
caused by pinching the saw chain along
the top of the guide bar. This action may
push the guide bar rapidly back toward
the operator. Either of these events may
cause you to Iose control of the saw
which could result in serious injury or
even death. DO NOT RELY UPON ANY OF
THE DEVICES BUILT {NTOYOUR SAW.
YOU SHOULD USE THE SAW PROPERLY
AND CAREFULLY TOAVOID KICKBACK.
Reduced-kickback guide bars and Iow-
kickback saw chains reduce the chance
and magnitude of kickback and are rec-
ommended. Your saw has a tow kick-
back chain and bar as original equip-
ment. Repairs on a chain broke should
be made by an authorized Sears Ser-
vice Center. Take your unit to the place
of purchase ff purchased from a servic-
ing dealer, or to your nearest Sears Ser-
vice Center
• 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 control of the saw which
could result in serious injury. Do not
rely exclusively upon devices built into
your SaW.
