CHAIN SAW SAFETY FEATURES
9
General
A chain saw has two parts, the engine or powerhead
and the cutting equipment (bar and chain).
Adjustment and maintenance of the powerhead and its
major components can be found in the Operator’s
Manual.
The chain saw safety features are shown and described
below. Check them and their function before each use.
Safety Features
Front Hand Guard
Activates the chain brake if moved forward. Resets the
chain brake when moved backwards toward the front
handle. Also designed to reduce the risk of your hand
touching the saw chain if your hand slips off the front
handls.
Chain Brake
The chain brake is designed to stop the saw chain if
activated while the saw chain is running, or can act as a
”parking brake” while the chain saw is idling to help
prevent the saw chain from moving.
Throttle Trigger Lockout
Designed to prevent the accidental operation of the
throttle. The throttle is locked in the idling position when
the lockout is not pushed in by the operator’s right hand.
