Chain brake
The chain saw comes equipped with an automatic
chain brake to stop the saw chain from kickback.
The chain brake is activated by the inertial forces
triggered by the kickback itself. The chain brake
can also be activated manually by pushing forward
the front hand guard in front of the arched handle.
Release the activated chain brake by pulling the
front hand guard backward towards the arched
handle until it stops with a click.
Warning! Test the chain brake before you begin
working with the chain saw.
Check the chain brake:
1. Shut off the engine.
2. Hold the chain saw horizontally over a stump,
log etc. Hold the rear handle and let go of the
arched handle so that the guide bar strikes the
stump. The chain brake should automatically
activate (sensitivity for the chain brake’s activation
depends on the length of the guide bar).
Contact the retailer for reparation if the chain brake does not activate.
If the motor continues to run on high revolution without activating the chain brake the clutch will
overheat and become damaged. Release, therefore, the throttle directly when the chain brake
has been activated.
Stop engine
1. Release the throttle and let the engine idle a little while.
2. Turn the ignition switch to position “0”.
