CHAIN BRAKE
The chain brake is a device that stops
the chain instantly if the chain saw
backs up due to kickback.
Normally, the brake is activated
automatically by inertial force. Can also
be activated manually
Pushing the brake lever (front
handlebar guard) down. When the
brake works, a white cone comes out of the base of the brake lever. To
release the brake, lift the front handle shield toward the front handle until
a clicking sound is heard.
When the brake comes on, release the throttle trigger to reduce engine
speed. Continuous operation with the brake engaged will generate heat
from the clutch and can cause problems.
Be sure to check the operation of the brake in the daily inspection.
