Husqvarna T540i XP, Operator'S Manual, Page: 15 / 32

• Will the inertia release mechanism always engage
the chain brake during kickback?
No. First, the chain brake must operate correctly.
Refer to
Maintenance and checks of the safety
devices on the product on page 19
for instructions
about how to do a check of the chain brake. We
recommend you to do this each time before you
use the product. Second, the force of the kickback
must be large to engage the chain brake. If the
chain brake is too sensitive, it can engage during
rough operation.
• Will the chain brake always protect me from injury
during a kickback?
No. The chain brake must operate correctly to give
protection. The chain brake must also be engaged
during a kickback to stop the saw chain. If you are
near the guide bar, it is possible that the chain
brake does not have time to stop the saw chain
before it hits you.
WARNING:
Only you and the correct
working technique can prevent kickbacks.
