LOW-KICKBACK CHAINS FOR CHAIN SAWS: The Oregon®
family of low-kickback
chains is designed to deliver cutting performance demanded
by commercial and occasional users with maximum protection
against bar-nose kickback.
In kickback tests, these chains have a computed kickback
angle of less than 45 degrees.
These chains meet the low-kickback
perfomance standards for saw chain in both the United States
and Canada. In the U.S., the standard for low-kickback saw
chain is known as ANSI B175.1. In Canada, the standard for low-kickback
type C saw chain is known as CSA Z62.3.
