Pre Cutting Test
• Familiarize yourself with your chainsaw before you start actual cutting.
• For this purpose it may be wise to practice by cutting some small logs or
limbs several times on a sawhorse or cradle.
• Do not allow either people or animals into the work area. Multiple
operators - Keep a safe distance between two or more operators when
working together simultaneously.
Correct Use of Chain Brake
Kickback is very hazardous. If the tip of the bar touches wood
or the like, the guide bar kicks back instantly. The chain brake
reduces the possibility of injury due to kickback. Always check
that the chain brake works properly before use. Otherwise
serious personal injury can result.
Be sure to install a guide bar and saw chain when performing a
chain brake test.
Note:
• For practice, while cutting a small tree, push the front hand guard
forward to engage the brake.
• At all times, confirm whether the brake works properly before each
task.
• If the chain brake is clogged with wood chips, function of the brake
deteriorates a little. Always keep the device clean.
• Do not increase motor revolutions while the chain brake is engaged.
• Never test the brake in an area where petrol fumes are present.
