STEP 1 - CHAIN BRAKE MECHANICAL TEST
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.
Your chainsaw is equipped with a chain brake that reduces
the 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.
Before starting, test the chain brake by pushing it forward
until an audible click is heard.
a. The chain brake is DISENGAGED (chain can move by hand)
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 by hand.
WARNING!
The brake lever should snap into both
positions. If this is not the case, do not use your
saw.
