KICKBACK BRAKE
The kickback brake is a safety mechanism
activated by the front hand guard. When
kickback occurs, the saw chain stops
immediately (Fig. 7).
The following function check should be
carried out before each use. The purpose of
the chain brake testing is to reduce the
possibility of injury due to kickback:
1. Push front hand guard forward and try to
start the chain saw. The chain must not
start.
2. To deactivate the kickback brake, release
On/Off switch 3 and pull hand guard
backwards.
