place of purchase if purchased from a ser-

vicing dealer, or to the nearest authorized

Husqvarna® service dealer.

S Tip contact in some cases may cause a light-

ning fast reverse REACTION, kicking the

guide bar up and back toward the operator .

S Pinching the saw chain along the top of the

guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly

back toward the operator.

S Either of these reactions may cause you to

lose control of the saw which could result

in serious injury . Do not rely upon the safe-

ty devices built into your saw.

WARNING: Computed kickback

angle (CKA) listed on your saw and listed in the

CKA table below represents angle of kickback

your bar and chain combinations will have

when tested in accordance with CSA (Cana-

dian Standards Association) and ANSI stan-

dards. When purchasing replacement bar and

chain, considerations should be given to the

lower CKA values. Lower CKA values repre-

sent safer angles to the user, higher values in-

dicate more angle and higher kick energies.

Computed angles represented indicate 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 break and resulting

kick angle of saw . In all cases lower CKA val-

ues represent a safer operating environment

for the user.

The following guide bar and chain combina-

tions meet kickback requirements of CSA

Standards 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.

cial logging, a chain brake is required and

shall not be removed or otherwise disabled

to comply with Federal OSHA Regulations

for Commercial Logging. Contact your au-

SAFETY NOTI CE: Exposure to vibrations

through prolonged use of gasoline powered

hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve

damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of

people prone to circulation disorders or

abnormal swellings. Prolonged use in cold

weather has been lin ked to blood vessel

damage in otherwise healthy people. If

symptoms occur such as 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 this tool and 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 muf fler 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 by

law that many internal combustion engines

to be equipped with a spark arresting screen.

If you operate a chain saw in a state or locale

where such regulations exist, you are legally

responsible for maintaining the operating

condition of these parts. Failure to do so is

a violation of the law. Refer to the SERVICE

section for maintenance of the spark

arresting screen.

Failure to follow all Safety Rules and

Precautions can result in serious injury. If

situations occur which are not covered in this

manual, use care and good judgement. If you

need assistance, contact your authorized

Husqvarna service dealer.
