after being pulled 1/8" (3 mm) away from the guide
bar. No sag should be visible in the chain.

WARNING
Always remove battery pack before

CAUTION
Chain is sharp. Always wear protec-
tive gloves when handling the chain.
Use Low Kickback Saw Chains - The rakers (depth
gauges) ahead of each cutter can minimize the force of a
kickback reaction by preventing the cutters from digging
in too deeply at the kickback zone. Only use replace-
ment chain that is equivalent to original chain or has
been certied as low kickback chain per ANSI B175.1.
As saw chains are sharpened during their useful life,
they lose some of the low kickback qualities and extra
caution should be used.
