ANSI Standard B175.1 and
CSA Z62.1.3 stipulate that the
brake shall stop the chain
0.12 seconds at an engine
speed of 13,500 rpm. It is the
responsibility of the owner/
operator to ensure that the
brake is serviced, adjusted
and tested strictly in
accordance with the
instructions as detailed here
in order to ensure that the
brake performance is
maintained in compliance with
the Standards B175.1 and CSA
Z62.1.3.
Automatic Chain Brake
Kickback produced from the tip of the guide bar will trip the automatic chain
brake. To make sure that the automatic chain brake operates properly,
follow these steps:
1.
Stop the engine.
2.
Hold the saw with the guide bar approximately 35 cm (14 in.) above a
wooden surface. Right hand should hold the rear handle, and left hand
should hold the front handle.
3.
Release the front handle and drop the end of the guide bar against the
wooden surface.
4.
The impact should lock the chain brake.
When checking the operation of the automatic chain brake, use a soft
surface substance like wood to absorb the impact so the chain is not
damaged.
