Chain Brake
This machine is equipped with an automatic brake to stop saw chain rotation instantly upon occurrence of
kickback while in saw cutting operation. Normally the brake is activated automatically by inertial force. It
can also be activated manually by pushing the brake lever (left-hand guard) down towards the front. When
the brake operates, a yellow cone pops up from the base of the brake lever.
To release brake, pull the brake lever up towards the left-hand handle until it clicks into place.
Be sure to confirm brake operation during the daily inspection.
If the engine is kept operating at high speed with the brake engaged, the clutch will heat up causing further
trouble. When the brake is operated during use, immediately release your fingers from the throttle lever to
keep the engine idling.
Stopping the Engine

forbidden to cut other types of material.
•

moving or splitting objects . Do not lock it over fixed stands. It is forbidden to hitch tools or
accessories to the chainsaw that are not specified by Kogan.com.

a lever to open the way.

operating properly. You must check the chain brake operation before each usage by running the
saw at full the throttle for 1-2 seconds and pushing the front hand guard forward. The chain should
stop immediately with the engine at full speed. If the chain is slow to stop or does not stop, replace
the brake band and clutch drum before use.
•
It is extremely important that the chain brake be checked for proper operation before each use and
that the chain be sharp in order to maintain the kickback safety level of this saw. Removal of the
safety devices. Inadequate maintenance, or incorrect replacement of the bar or chain may increase
the risk or serious personal injury due to kickback.
