STARTING THE CHAIN SAW
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY, NEVER DEFEAT THE INTERLOCK

Make sure the chain brake is not engaged.
Grasp the front and rear handles firmly.
Press and hold the trigger lock-out with the

to continue to press the trigger lock-out. It
will remain disengaged until the trigger is
released.
TESTING THE CHAIN BRAKE
Make sure the chain brake is working
before using the chain saw. To check brake
operation:
• Place the saw on a firm, flat surface.
• Start the saw briefly.
• Keep the left hand on the front handle and
roll the left wrist to move the front hand
guard forward to manually activate the
chain brake (Fig. ).
• Release the trigger switch.
A properly functioning chain brake stops
the motor and saw chain immediately.
If the motor and saw chain do not stop
immediately, have the chain brake checked
at an approved service location.
• Return the front hand guard to operating
position.
