The chain brake can also be activated
manually by pushing the protective shield
forward towards the blade.

If the chain brake is activated while using the
chainsaw, you should immediately release
the throttle, as the coupling may otherwise
be damaged.
Check the chain brake before each use!
Checking the chain brake
With the engine stopped:
Push the protective shield backwards
towards the saw to switch the chain brake
off . You will hear a click when the protective
shield moves between the open and locked
position.
Allow the blade to touch a root or branch.
The protective shield moves forward and
activates the chain brake. The amount of
power required to activate the chain brake
depends on the length of the blade.
With the engine started:
Allow the engine to run at maximum speed
for 1-2 seconds.
Push the protective shield forward with your
left hand. The chain will stop immediately.
Release the throttle.
If the chain does not stop immediately or
does not stop completely when the chain
brake is activated, the chainsaw must be
inspected by a quali� ed repair engineer.
