Chain brake mechanical test
Your chainsaw is equipped with a Chain brake that reduces
possibility of injury due to kickback. The brake is activated if
pressure is applied against the brake lever when, as in the event
of kickback, the operator’s hand strikes the lever. When the brake
is actuated, chain movement stops abruptly.
Warning: The purpose of the chain brake is to reduce the
possibility of injury due to kickback; however, it cannot provide
the intended measure of protection if the saw is operated
carelessly. Always test the chain brake before using your saw and
periodically while on the job.
To test the chain brake (FIG 9)
a. The Chain brake is DISENGAGED (chain can move) when the
BRAKE LEVER IS PULLED BACK AND LOCKED.
b. The chain brake is ENGAGED (the chain is locked) when the
brake lever is pushed forward. It should not be possible to move
the chain.
