SAFETY DEVICES

Chain brake
Chain brakes are designed to quickly stop the chain from
rotating. When the chain brake lever is pushed towards the
bar, the chain should stop immediately. A chain brake does
not prevent kickback. It only lowers the risk of injury should
the chain bar contact the operator's body during a kickback
event. The chain brake should be tested before each use
for correct operation in both the run and brake positions.
WARNING! If the chain brake does not stop the chain
immediately, or if the chain brake does not stay in the
run position without assistance, take the product to an
authorised service centre for repair before use.
Chain catcher
The chain catcher prevents the saw chain from being
thrown back towards the operator if the saw chain comes
loose or breaks.
Guide bars
Generally, guide bars with small radius tips have a
somewhat lower potential for kickback. Use a guide bar
and matching chain that is just long enough for the job.
Longer bars increase the risk of loss of control during

sawing. Regularly check the chain tension. When cutting
smaller branches (less than the full length of the guide bar)
the chain is more likely to be thrown off if the tension is
not correct.
Low-kickback saw chain
The low-kickback saw chain helps to reduce the possibility
of a kickback event.
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter can
minimise the force of a kickback reaction by preventing the
cutters from digging in too deeply. Use only replacement
guide bar and chain combinations that are recommended
by the manufacturer.
As saw chains are sharpened, they lose some of the low-
kickback qualities, and extra caution is required. For safety,
replace saw chains when cutting performance decreases.
Spiked bumper
The integral bumper spike may be used as a pivot when
making a cut. It helps to keep the body of the chainsaw
steady while cutting. When cutting, push the product
forward until the spikes dig into the edge of the wood, then
move the rear handle up or down in the direction of the
cutting line to help ease the physical strain of cutting.
