Chain Saw Kickback Guard
 |
That's why Safeguard Ventures, LLC created the Centurion« chainsaw safety guard. It doesn't prevent kickback, but it protects the operator from an incident or any top-of-the-bar mishap. Safeguard's motto is, "It only needs to work once".
The guard lies on top of the log while cutting, and with a slight tug on the handle, pulls up for undercutting or tightening the chain.
The steel guard is 1 3/8 in. wide and weighs about 1 lb. It comes in 16 and 20-in. sizes and fits blades from 14 to 22 in. long. It fits most popular chainsaw models.
Installation takes less than five minutes and only requires the chain-tightening wrench that comes with the chainsaw.
The blade fits chainsaws with twin stud bolt design so it can't be put on Stihl chainsaws incorporating the "Quick Chain Adjuster" or on Shindaiwa models #300 and #375.
Both guards sell for $39.95 plus S&H. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Safeguard Ventures, LLC., 4835 NW 187th Ave., Portland, Ore. 97229 (ph 888 531-9502 or 503 531-9502; email: info@safeguardventures.com; website: www.safeguardventures.com).
