Chain brake operation (Fig. 2, 11)
Chain brake is designed to activate in an emergency
such as kick-back action.
Application of brake is made by moving the front
hand guard towards the bar. During the chain brake
operation, even if the throttle lever is pulled, the
engine speed does not increase and the chain does
not turn. To release the brake, pull the front hand
guard toward the front handle.
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 lever to slow down the engine.
How to confi rm the activation of the
chain brake
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.
