OPERATING THE CHAIN BRAKE
See Figures 4 - 5.
Check the operating condition of the chain brake
prior to each use.
Engage the chain brake by rotating your left
hand around the front handle, allowing the back
of your hand to push the chain brake lever/hand

saw handles at all times.
Reset the chain brake back into the RUN posi-
tion by grasping the top of the chain brake
lever/hand guard and pulling toward the front
handle until you hear a click.

immediately, or if the chain brake will not stay
in the run position without assistance, take the
saw to an authorized service center for repair
prior to use.
