KICKBACKSAFETY FEATURES
_WARNING: The following fea-
tures are included on your saw to help
reduce hazard of kickback; however,
such features will not totally eliminate
this danger. Do not rely only on safety
devices. Follow all safety rules to help
avoid kickback and other forces which
can result in serious injury.
• Hand Guard: designed to reduce the
chance of your left hand contacting
the chain if your hand slips off the
front handlebar.
• Position of front and rear handlebars:
designed with distance between
handles and "in-line" with each other.
The spread and "in-line" position of
the hands provided by this design
work together to give balance and
resistance in controlling the pivot of
the saw back toward the operator if
kickback occurs.
• Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar: de-
signed with a small radius tip which
reduces the size of the kickback
danger zone on the bar tip. This type
bar has been demonstrated to signif-
icantly reduce the number and seri-
ousness of kickbacks when tested in
accordance with ANSI B175.1.

SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibra-
tions through prolonged use of hand
tools could cause blood vessel or
nerve damage in the fingers, hands,
and joints of people prone to circula-
tion disorders or abnormal swelling.
Prolonged use in cold weather has
been linked to blood vessel damage in
otherwise healthy people. If symptoms
occur such as numbness, pain, loss of
strength, change in skin color or tex-
ture, 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 closely monitor their physical
condition and the condition of this tool.
DOUBLE INSULATION
CONSTRUCTION
This unit is double insulated to help pro-
tect against electric shock. Double in-
sulation construction consists of two
separate "layers" of electrical insulation
instead of grounding.
Tools and appliances built with this in-
sulation system are not intended to be
grounded. No grounding means is pro-
vided on this unit, nor should a means
of grounding be added to this unit. As a
result, the extension cord used with this
unit can be plugged into any polarized
120 volt electrical outlet.
Safety precautions must be observed
when operating any electrical tool. The
double insulation system only provides
added protection against injury resulting
from an internal electrical insulation
failure.
_1_ WARNING: All electrical repairs
to this unit, including housing, switch,
motor, etc., must be diagnosed and re-
paired by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double insu-
lated appliance must be identical to the
parts they replace. A double insulated
appliance is marked with the words
"double insulation" or "double insu-
lated". The symbol [] (square within a
square) may also be marked on the
appliance. Failure to have the unit re-
paired by Sears service personnel can
cause the double insulation construc-
tion to become ineffective and result in
serious injury.
STANDARDS: This product is listed by
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. in ac-
cordance with UL Standard 1662 and
ANSI B175.1.
ANSI B175.1-2000 "American Nation-
al Standard for Powered Tools - Safe-
ty Requirements".
