The front handle allows for a safe, two-point grip while using your chainsaw. The design and location of the handle lets you pivot the saw while cutting (for better control and less fatigue).

If the handle is cracked, broken, or missing fasteners, it must be repaired before using. A serious accident could occur if not.
