Chain brake operation (Fig. 10)
15
Fig. 10
Chain brake (15), is designed to activate in an emergency
such as kick-back action. Please check to verify that it
works properly before use.
Application of brake is made by moving the front hand
guard towards the bar. During the chain brake operation,
even if the throttle trigger is pulled, the engine speed
does not increase and the chain does not turn. To
release the brake, pull up the front hand guard.
If the engine keeps rotating at high speed with the brake
engaged, the clutch will overheat causing trouble.
When the brake engages during operation, immediately
release the throttle trigger to slow down the engine.
How to confi rm:
1) Turn off the engine.
2) Holding the chain saw horizontally, release your
hand from the front handle, hit the tip of the guide
bar to a stump or a piece of wood, and confi rm brake
operation. Operating level varies by bar size.

In case the brake is not eff ective, ask our dealer for
inspection and repairs.
