seconds at an engine speed of 13,500 r/min. It is the
responsibility of the owner/operator to ensure that the brake is

AUTOMATIC CHAIN BRAKE
Kickback produced from the tip of
the guide bar will trip the automatic
chain brake. To make sure that the
automatic chain brake operates
properly, follow these steps:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Hold the saw with the guide
bar approximately 35 cm (14
in.) above a wooden surface.
Right hand should hold the
rear handle, and left hand
should hold the front handle.
3. Release the front handle and
drop the end of the guide bar
against the wooden surface.
4. The impact should lock the
chain brake.
When checking the operation of the automatic chain brake, use a soft
surface substance like wood to absorb the impact so the chain is not
damaged.
Chain saws shall be used in accordance with the operating
instructions and safety precautions listed in the operator's
manual(s). It shall be the responsibility of the owner to see that
such instructions and precautions are given to every operator
who uses the saw.
