KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES
WARNING: The followingfeatures are
included onyour saw to help reduce
hazard of kickback;however, such fea-
tures willnot totally eliminatethis dan-
ger. Do notrely only onsafety devices.

chance of your left hand contacting
the chain ifyour hand slipsoff the
front handlebar.
•Positionof front and rear handlebars:
designed _distance between han-
dles and ",n-line"with each other.The
spread and."in-line" position ofthe
hands prodded by this design work
together to give balance and rasm-
tance in controlling the pivot ofthe
