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.
