CHAIN BRAKE & СКА ANGLE

Ik WARNING: The effectiveness of a

chain brake in reducing operator injuries

has not yet been fully determined. We can

not represent that a chain brake is an effec

tive safety device to prevent or reduce the

hazard of injuries resulting from kickback.

DO NOT ASSUME THAT THE CHAIN

BRAKE WILL PROTECT YOU IN THE

EVENT OF A KICKBACK. Instead, use

the saw properly and carefully to avoid kick

back. Reduced-Kickback bars and Low-

Kickback chains reduce the hazard of kick

back and are recommended. Repairs on a

chain brake should be made by an Autho

rized Service Dealer.

A WARNING: Computed kickback

angle (CKA) listed on your saw and listed in

the CKA table below represents angle of

Computed kickback angle (CKA) Table

kickback your bar and chain combinations

will have when tested in accordance with

CSA and ANSI standards. When purchas

ing replacement bar and chain, consider

ations should be given to the lower CKA val

ues. Lower CKA values represent safer

angles to the user, higher values indicate

more angle and higher kick energies. Com

puted angles represented in the non-acti

vated column indicate total energy and

angle associated without activation of the

chain brake during kickback. Activated

angle represents chain stopping time rela

tive to activation angle of chain brake and

resulting kick angle of saw.

The following guide bar and chain com

binations meet kickback requirements of

CSA Z62.1, Z62.3, & ANSI B175.1 Use of

bar and chain combinations other than

those listed is not recommended and may

not meet the CKA requirements per stan

dard.

NOTE: This saw complies with Federal

OSHA regulations for commercial logging.

SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations

through prolonged use of gasoline

powered hand tools could cause blood

vessel or nen/e damage in the fingers,

hands, and joints of people prone to

circulation disorders or abriormal swellings.

Prolonged use in cold wéather has been

linked to blood vessel damage in otherwise

healthy people. If symptoms occur such ^

numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in

skin color or texture, or loss of feeling in the

fingers, hands, or joints, discontinue the

use of tfiis tool auid seek medical attention.

An anti-vibration system does not

guarantee the avoidance of these

problems. Users who operate power tools

on a continual and regular basis must

monitor closely their physical condition and

the condition of this tool.

SPECIAL NOTICE: Your saw is equipped

with a temperature limiting muffler and

spark arresting screen which meets the

requirements of California Codes 4442 and

4443. All U.S. forest land and the states of

California, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New

Jersey, Oregon, and Washington require

many internal combustion engines to be

equipped with a spark arrestor screen by

law. If /ou operate a chain saw where such

regulations exist, you are legally

responsible for maintaining these parts.

Failure to do so is a violation of the law.

Refer to SERVICE section.

If you need assistance, contact your Autho

rized Service Dealer or call the 1-800 num

ASSEMBLY

Do not be alarmed by a rattle in your unit.

This is a normal sound from the fuel filter in

the empty fuel tank. You may also smell

asoline or see oil residue on the muffler.

his is normal from the testing and carbure

tor adjustment process while the unit was

manufactured.

WARNING: Recheck each assembly

step if the saw is received assembled. A-

ways wear gloves when handling the chain.

The chain is sharp and can cut you even

when it is not moving!

ATTACHING THE BAR & CHAIN

(If not already attached)

• Loosen and remove ti^e bar clamp.

• Remove and recycle plastic shipping

spacer.

An adjusting pin and screw is used to ad

just the tension of the chain. It is very im

portant when assembling the bar, that the

pin located on the adjusting screw aligns

into a hole in the bar. Turning the screw

will move the adjustment pin up and

down ttie screw. Locate this adjustment

before you begin mounting the bar onto
